FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while they were originally designed for handball, they are now intended for casual, daily lifestyle use and do not provide the technical support required for running.

How should I clean the gum rubber outsole?

You can use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the gum rubber sole, as it is much more water-resistant than the suede upper.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed with a standard regular fit, consistent with most adidas adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it will damage the suede material and compromise the integrity of the adhesive used in the construction.

What is the purpose of the OrthoLite sock liner?

OrthoLite liners are used to provide long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture management inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or marks on the suede

Use a dry suede eraser or soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt away without damaging the nap.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for a more secure fit.

Suede material looking flat or matted

Use a suede brush to carefully 'comb' the material back into place to restore the original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: The trainers feature a regular fit and generally feel comfortable out of the box, but light walking for a few days will allow the suede to contour to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dust or debris. Avoid using water directly on the suede material.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the yellow pigment over time.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before initial wear to protect against spills and urban grime.
  5. Insole Maintenance: If the OrthoLite sock liner becomes worn over several years, it can be removed and replaced with a generic cushioned insole.
