FAQs
Are the Handball Spezial shoes suitable for professional sports?
While originally designed for handball, this is now primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It lacks the modern cushioning technology found in current professional court shoes.
How do I clean the Cream White stripes?
Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild detergent and gently buff the stripes. Avoid getting the suede wet while cleaning the stripes.
Does this shoe fit true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard adidas UK size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material, warp the shoe shape, and cause the colors to bleed.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the classic gum rubber compound used on these shoes is designed to be non-marking.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the surface with a specialized suede brush in a circular motion to lift the fibers.
Visible scuffs on the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber perimeter, then dry immediately with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial sneakers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn spots, use a dedicated suede eraser; avoid using water or household chemicals that can bleed the dye.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green dye from fading.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray specifically designed for footwear to help repel water and future stains.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to standard adidas sizing; however, since they feature a slim profile, those with wider feet may find a more comfortable fit by opting for a slightly thinner sock.
