FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. They offer good grip and comfort for everyday wear but may not provide the specific performance features needed for competitive play.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be easily damaged by water and may stain. Applying a water-repellent spray specifically for suede can offer some protection for light moisture.

What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other Adidas sneakers?

The Handball Spezial is known for its classic, retro design derived from indoor sports shoes, featuring a suede upper and a distinctive gum sole, offering a blend of vintage style and everyday comfort, unlike more modern or performance-focused Adidas models.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial runs true to size for most individuals. However, personal preference for fit can vary. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, specifically a gum rubber sole, which is characteristic of this model and provides excellent traction and durability.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series comes in various colorways. Please check the product listing or the Adidas Originals range for available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely before brushing.

Gum sole has scuff marks

Gently rub scuff marks with a melamine foam eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially. Suede can stretch slightly with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a half-size larger if possible.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur with new suede. Wear with dark socks initially. Applying a suede protector can help mitigate color transfer.
