Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Handball Spezial is a versatile unisex trainer designed for adults who value heritage aesthetics combined with court-inspired durability. Originally engineered for high-performance handball, these shoes have transitioned into a iconic streetwear staple that offers excellent lateral support and a distinct profile. While they offer superb style and construction, users should note that the flat-sole design may require supportive insoles if you plan on standing for extended periods or walking on uneven surfaces.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Adidas Handball Spezial fits true to standard sizing, though the narrow court-style profile may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge these shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this will damage the suede and the structural integrity of the materials.
Are they suitable for running?
These trainers are not designed for long-distance or high-impact running and lack the necessary cushioning for those activities.
What is the best way to waterproof the suede?
You can use a high-quality suede-specific waterproofing spray, but test a small, hidden area first to ensure it does not alter the color of the material.
Do these come with different lacing options?
The shoes come with standard laces, but you can swap them for flat or round laces of a different length or color to customize your look.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff away surface dirt. Do not use water or standard household cleaners.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural result of the flexible construction; use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Adidas Handball Spezial in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since many models feature suede uppers, you should avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture and color. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. If you find the factory-provided support is insufficient for your needs, the internal sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthopedic insoles for better arch support. Ensure you store the shoes in a cool, dry place inside their original packaging to maintain their shape when not in use.
