FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Due to the velvet upper, machine washing will permanently damage the texture and color. Use professional dry cleaning methods for heavy soiling.
Do they provide good arch support?
The EVA insole provides standard cushioning, but if you require heavy arch support, you may want to swap the insole for a custom orthotic.
Is the size UK 6 a standard fit?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adidas adult footwear.
Can I wear these for actual handball?
While based on a 1979 handball design, the modern velvet construction is intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive court sports.
How do I protect the velvet from getting dirty?
Apply a high-quality fabric water-and-stain repellent spray designed specifically for delicate textiles before your first wear.
Is the gold branding durable?
The metallic gold 'Spezial' text is high-quality, but it can fade if subjected to harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
Troubleshooting
Velvet looks flat or crushed
Use a specialized soft garment brush to gently lift the fibers in the direction of the grain.
Stains on velvet surface
Use a damp, lint-free cloth with mild soapy water, dabbing lightly. Never scrub the material as it may damage the pile.
Insole feels worn down
The EVA insole is replaceable; you can swap it with a generic thin orthotic insole if you need extra support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from velvet, maintenance is critical to preserving their appearance. We recommend using a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear. Avoid exposing the velvet to heavy rain or mud, as the material can become matted or stained. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the material. The size UK 6 fit is true to standard adidas sizing, though the velvet may offer a slightly more snug feel than smooth leather initially.
