FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports like handball?

No, while inspired by original handball shoes, the adidas Handball Spezial Green Velvet are designed for casual fashion and streetwear, not for performance sports.

How should I clean the velvet and suede materials?

Use a soft suede brush for suede areas and a gentle, damp cloth for velvet. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Consider a specialized cleaner for these materials.

What kind of fit do these shoes have?

They feature a regular fit with a lace closure, allowing for adjustment to suit your comfort. They are designed for comfortable daily wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It's best to avoid heavy wet weather to protect the velvet and suede. A protective spray can offer some resistance, but they are not waterproof.

What does the 'T-toe' design refer to?

The T-toe is a classic design feature referring to the T-shaped suede overlay on the toe box of the shoe, contributing to its retro aesthetic.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of supple velvet, complemented by suede details.

Are these shoes unisex?

This specific variant is listed for 'Female' gender, but many find the Spezial style versatile. Please refer to size charts for accurate fitting.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty or matted.

For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For velvet, gently dab with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing.

Color seems faded or dull.

Ensure proper cleaning techniques are being used. For suede, a suede renovator spray can sometimes revitalize color, but always test on a hidden area first.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size (UK 11 for this specific pair). Allow for a brief break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, reassess sizing.

Getting wet marks or stains easily.

Velvet and suede are susceptible to water damage. Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for these materials before wear, and avoid wearing in heavy rain.

Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or smudges, gently wipe with a clean, soft, damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. 2. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction. 3. Velvet Care: For velvet, gently dab with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can damage the pile. 4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for velvet and suede to protect against spills and moisture. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. 5. Drying: If shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. 6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain shape.
