Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is an iconic trainer designed for style-conscious individuals who value heritage aesthetics and all-day comfort. Originally engineered for elite handball players, these shoes are perfect for casual wear, offering a classic silhouette with premium suede construction and a signature gum rubber outsole. While they provide excellent comfort through their OrthoLite sock liner, prospective buyers should note that the suede material requires diligent maintenance to preserve its appearance in wet or muddy conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to size for a regular width foot.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will likely ruin the suede and damage the integrity of the shoe's adhesives.

Are these suitable for playing actual handball?

While they were originally designed for handball in 1979, modern indoor sports shoes offer significantly more arch support and impact protection.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite liner?

The OrthoLite sock liner provides long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture management.

How do I remove water stains from the suede?

Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat, then use a suede brush to gently buff the affected area.

Troubleshooting

Suede is looking flat or matted.

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap back to its original texture.

Laces feel loose throughout the day.

Ensure they are threaded tightly through all eyelets and double-knot the bow for extra security.

Accumulation of dust on the gum sole.

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then pat dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your adidas Handball Spezial trainers in optimal condition, begin by applying a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. The regular fit runs true to size; if you prefer a looser feel, consider testing them with the socks you plan to wear most often.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear.
  2. Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently buff the surface.
  3. Moisture Protection: Avoid wearing in heavy rain, as water can cause the suede to stiffen or discolor.
  4. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the grey colorway.
