FAQs

Are the Handball Spezial good for playing handball?

While named after the sport, the current Handball Spezial models are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer good comfort and style but may lack the specific technical features required for competitive handball.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean the suede. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing to restore the texture.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain. The leather and suede materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. Consider treating them with a water-repellent spray for light protection.

What does 'Spezial' mean?

'Spezial' is German for 'special'. It signifies a line of shoes that were originally developed for specific sports and have since become iconic lifestyle sneakers.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. Many users find that these sneakers fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method.

What is the difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas shoes?

The Handball Spezial is known for its distinct silhouette, gum sole, and suede or leather upper, rooted in its handball origins. Other adidas shoes may have different designs, materials, and intended uses, such as running or basketball.

How long does the gum sole typically last?

The lifespan of the gum sole depends on usage frequency, surface conditions, and wear patterns. With regular wear and proper care, it can last for a significant period, but it is susceptible to wear and tear like any rubber sole.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner may be necessary, followed by brushing.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly during wear.

Gum sole discoloration

This is a natural characteristic of gum rubber and may occur with exposure to certain elements or prolonged use. It typically does not affect performance.

Laces wear out quickly

Replace worn laces with standard sneaker laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress on eyelets.
