FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports like handball?

No, while the 'Handball Spezial' name originates from their original use as indoor sports shoes in 1979, the modern iteration is designed as a streetwear fashion item and is not recommended for athletic performance.

How do I best clean the suede material?

For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause stains.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, these adidas Handball Spezial shoes generally have a regular fit and are considered true to size. It's recommended to order your usual UK shoe size.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. The suede upper is susceptible to water damage and staining. Consider using a protective spray designed for suede to offer some water resistance for light dampness.

What materials are these shoes made from?

This specific variant features a premium suede upper, a comfortable synthetic lining, and a durable gum rubber outsole.

How can I protect the color from fading?

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods and store them in a cool, dry place away from harsh light when not in use. Regular cleaning and applying a suitable suede protector can also help maintain the color.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can help lift dirt and restore texture.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.

These shoes have a regular fit. Allow for a short break-in period by wearing them for shorter durations at first. Ensure you have the correct size.

Shoes get wet and suede looks discolored.

If they get wet, blot excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff with paper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Gum sole shows dirt or loses grip.

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For better grip, ensure the sole is free of debris. For serious wear, consider professional shoe repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your adidas Handball Spezial shoes is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lace Up: Loosen the laces, insert your foot, and then tighten the laces to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. Use the eyelets to customize the tension.
  3. Wear: Start wearing your shoes. A short break-in period might be needed for the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These shoes are highly compatible with a range of casual and retro-inspired fashion:

  • Outfits: Pair them with jeans, chinos, shorts, tracksuits, or casual dresses for a relaxed yet stylish look.
  • Seasons: Best suited for dry weather conditions. Avoid heavy rain or snow due to the suede material.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the look and longevity of your suede Handball Spezial shoes:

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  • Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and gently dab the stained area. Do not rub vigorously.
  • Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically according to product instructions. This helps repel water and stains.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and light.
