FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While inspired by athletic heritage, the Handball Spezial Low Shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not high-performance sports.

How do I clean the white accents?

For the Off White accents, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Wipe gently and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of suede, which gives it a soft texture and classic look.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, adidas Originals footwear runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. It's recommended to check available sizing charts or try them on if possible.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What is the difference between Handball Spezial and other Spezial models?

The Handball Spezial is a specific silhouette within the broader Spezial family, often featuring distinct materials, colorways, and design details. The 'Low Shoes' designation specifically refers to their ankle height.

Troubleshooting

Suede color looks dull or faded.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For deeper color restoration, consider a suede dye or color restorer specifically designed for footwear.

Gum sole is dirty or scuffed.

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the rubber. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also aid comfort.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Laces can be hand-washed separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These sneakers require minimal setup, primarily involving breaking them in for optimal comfort. They are compatible with most casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water, as it can stain suede.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
  3. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
