adidas Originals Handball Spezial Bold - Blue - Low Shoes

The Handball Spezial Bold are primarily lifestyle shoes designed for casual wear. While inspired by handball shoes, their updated platform design makes them best suited for everyday activities rather than intense athletic performance.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth, and always let them air dry completely away from heat.

The main difference is the 'Bold' version features a significantly enhanced, platform-inspired sole for a modern aesthetic, whereas the original Handball Spezial has a flatter, traditional sole.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

You can wear them with no-show socks for a cleaner look, or with standard athletic or casual socks depending on your outfit and comfort preference. They pair well with both.

The 'Handball Spezial Bold' is available in various colorways, though specific availability may vary by retailer and season. This guide focuses on the 'Night Indigo/Clear Sky/Gum' variant.

These shoes generally offer a regular fit. It's recommended to consult the size chart and consider your usual shoe size. The lace closure allows for some adjustment to achieve a custom fit.

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.

Clean laces by hand with mild soap and water, or machine wash them in a garment bag on a gentle cycle. Replace if frayed or damaged.

This is normal for new suede shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in. They will become more flexible with use.

Ensure you are accustomed to the platform height. Walk on various surfaces to adapt. If instability persists, consider if this shoe style is suited to your gait.
