FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard Adidas sizing; however, if you prefer a roomier fit, some users suggest going up half a size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers based on historical court shoes and do not feature the technical support required for running.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a dry suede brush to lift surface dirt; do not get the suede excessively wet.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
It is best to avoid heavy rain, as water can damage the suede material and cause colour transfer.
What is the primary material used?
The Handball Spezial typically features a combination of suede and synthetic materials for a balance of durability and style.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, these shoes use standard flat laces which can be easily swapped for any compatible length and style.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on white accents
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with mild soap specifically on the white portions to avoid staining the brown suede.
Feeling discomfort during long periods of standing
Consider inserting a high-quality aftermarket insole to enhance arch support and cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, ensure you choose the correct UK sizing, as the fit is standard to Adidas's heritage sizing guidelines. For care, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede or leather surfaces. If the white detailing becomes scuffed, a damp cloth with mild soap is typically sufficient. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity of the classic construction. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent material warping.
