FAQs

Are the Adidas Handball Spezial true to size?

Generally, the Adidas Handball Spezial run true to size. However, it's always recommended to check the brand's sizing chart and consider personal fit preferences, especially if you have wider feet.

How do I clean the white suede?

For white suede, use a soft suede brush for daily cleaning. For stains, a specialized white suede cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water (applied sparingly with a cloth) can be used. Always allow to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these for actual handball or sports?

While originally designed for handball, these are now primarily considered lifestyle or casual sneakers. They offer basic grip and comfort but lack the specialized support and technology for intense athletic performance.

What is the main difference between this and other Adidas models?

The Handball Spezial stands out with its specific silhouette, premium suede construction, and classic gum sole, distinguishing it from other models with different materials or designs.

How durable is the gum sole?

The gum sole is known for its durability and provides good traction. However, like any rubber sole, it can wear down over time with extensive use.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and cause staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry completely and then brush the suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Gum sole has scuff marks

Try using a magic eraser or a rubber sole cleaner for minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional shoe cleaning might be necessary.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If the shoe is fundamentally too small, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually.
