FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the slim construction may feel narrow to those with wider feet.

Can I wear these for running?

No, these are lifestyle sneakers inspired by vintage court shoes and do not feature the necessary support or cushioning for running.

How do I protect the suede?

Use a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against dust and light moisture.

Are these suitable for all weather?

They are best worn in dry conditions as suede can be permanently damaged by water and mud.

Can I use an insole for extra comfort?

Yes, you can swap the factory insole for an orthotic or cushioned insole to improve comfort for all-day wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust.

Water spots on the material

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then gently buff with a dry, soft cloth.

Sole losing traction

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove compacted debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The adidas Handball Spezial is a ready-to-wear trainer that requires no specialized setup. To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the suede becomes dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the texture of the suede. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
