FAQs

What is the primary use of the Adidas Handball Spezial now?

While originally designed as an indoor sports shoe in 1979, the Adidas Handball Spezial has transitioned into a popular leisure and lifestyle sneaker, celebrated for its classic style and comfort in everyday wear.

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?

The Adidas Handball Spezial is best suited for casual wear and light activity. While its design has sporting roots, it is not optimized for modern high-performance sports or intense physical activity.

How do I clean the suede material on these shoes?

For cleaning suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions, and then brush the nap to restore its texture. Avoid soaking the suede with water.

What does the 'Trefoil' logo signify?

The Trefoil logo is the official emblem of Adidas Originals, representing the brand's heritage products that draw inspiration from its rich sporting history, particularly from the 1970s and 80s.

Is the sizing true to size for UK 7?

Generally, Adidas shoes, including the Handball Spezial, tend to fit true to size. If you typically wear a UK 7 in Adidas footwear, this size should be appropriate. For best fit, refer to an Adidas sizing chart if unsure.

What materials are used in the upper part of this shoe?

This specific variant features a plush navy suede upper combined with synthetic elements, complemented by cream leather detailing on the 3-stripes.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Due to the suede material, it is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain or damage suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and consider using a water-repellent spray for protection.

Troubleshooting

Suede upper looks dull or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to revive its texture and appearance. A suede eraser can help remove specific marks.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to conform to your feet. Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 7 in this case).

Gum sole has lost some grip or looks dirty.

Clean the gum sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing. For better traction, check for any embedded debris.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your Handball Spezial shoes:

  1. General Cleaning: For regular dirt and dust, gently brush the suede upper with a soft-bristled brush. For synthetic and rubber parts, wipe with a damp cloth.
  2. Suede Care: For stubborn marks on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water, which can stain or stiffen suede.
  3. Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede and material protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede upper.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
