FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While the Handball Spezial has roots in indoor sports, the modern version is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It's best suited for casual wear and light activities, not for high-performance athletic sports.

How do I properly clean the suede upper?

For light dirt, gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaning solution, applying it sparingly and following the product's instructions. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes in water.

What is the fit like for the adidas Handball Spezial?

These shoes feature a 'regular fit.' The lace closure allows for adjustability, making them adaptable to most foot types. We recommend checking the official adidas size guide if you are unsure about your specific UK size.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

Due to the suede upper, it is generally advised to avoid heavy rain, as water can stain or damage suede. For light moisture resistance, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray.

What is the significance of the 'Spezial' in the name?

The 'Spezial' refers to the original adidas Handball Spezial shoe from 1979. This modern iteration pays homage to that classic design, bringing its iconic style to contemporary casual fashion.

Are these shoes comfortable for walking long distances?

Yes, with their synthetic lining and regular fit, the Handball Spezial shoes are comfortable for daily wear and walking moderate distances. However, for extensive long-distance walking or hiking, specialized walking shoes may offer more targeted support.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the material. For stubborn stains, consult a professional suede cleaner or use a suede-specific cleaning product.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace closure to achieve a more customized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot. Consider trying different lacing techniques if standard lacing doesn't provide the desired comfort.

Outsole losing grip on smooth surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. Wipe down with a damp cloth if necessary. Excessive wear or certain slick surfaces can affect traction.

Color fading on suede

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause suede to fade. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. A suede dye restorer might be an option for more significant fading, but consult a specialist.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede Handball Spezial shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Suede Cleaning: For dust and light dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede, as this can cause staining or damage.
  2. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  3. Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
