FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, the Handball Spezial is engineered primarily for indoor sports and lifestyle use; the outsole is not designed for the wear and tear of asphalt or concrete.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but since they are performance-oriented, they are designed for a snug, secure fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially suede models, as this can damage the structural integrity and material finish.
What is the purpose of the AdiPrene insert?
The AdiPrene insert is an adidas cushioning technology located in the heel that absorbs impact and provides responsive comfort during athletic activity.
Does the non-marking sole work on all surfaces?
The non-marking rubber is specifically designed for indoor gym floors to ensure no streaks are left behind, though it provides excellent grip on most smooth surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on court
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and court debris.
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede-specific brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners which may stain the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial shoes remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK sizing, as these models are designed for a precision fit. If your pair is crafted from suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and avoid saturating the material with water. For general maintenance, wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth after indoor use to maintain grip quality. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or adhesive degradation.
