FAQs

Are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial suitable for playing sports?

While originally inspired by handball shoes, the modern adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and style for everyday activities but are not intended for high-performance sports.

How do I best clean the suede material?

To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution can be used. Always avoid saturating the suede with water and allow shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the fit like for these shoes?

These shoes feature a regular fit. The lace closure allows for adjustability to achieve a snug and comfortable feel tailored to your foot. We recommend selecting your standard shoe size.

What are ADIPRENE+ and the Torsion System?

ADIPRENE+ is a cushioning technology providing excellent shock absorption and responsive bounce for enhanced comfort. The Torsion System is a lightweight arch support system that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, promoting stability and control.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. Exposure to water can stain or damage the material. It is recommended to use a protective spray designed for suede to add a layer of water resistance, but avoid heavy rain or wet conditions.

Does the gold foil 'Spezial' lettering fade?

The gold foil lettering is applied for durability, but like any printed detail, excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents can cause it to wear over time. Gentle care will help preserve its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner following product instructions. Always ensure the shoes are dry before cleaning.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for your foot shape. If new, allow a short break-in period for the suede to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or exploring thinner socks.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

The durable rubber outsole is designed for general traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If encountering excessively slippery conditions, exercise caution as these are lifestyle trainers, not specialized traction footwear.

Suede color looks dull or flattened.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap (texture) of the suede. Brush in one direction to maintain a uniform appearance. A suede protector spray can also help maintain the color's vibrancy.

Cons

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for casual and fashion-oriented wear. They pair well with a wide range of clothing, from streetwear to more smart-casual ensembles. This specific variant is designed for women, offering a regular fit.

Care

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the look and longevity of your suede shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
  • Water Exposure: Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged and stained by water.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
