FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the Handball Spezial has roots as an indoor sports shoe, its current iteration is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For high-performance athletic activities, we recommend dedicated modern sports footwear.
How do I choose the correct size?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual adidas size. If you are unsure, please refer to the adidas size chart for foot measurements.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The suede and leather materials can be damaged by water and machine agitation. Please follow the care instructions for cleaning.
What is the Torsion system?
The Torsion System is a technology designed by adidas to allow the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and support during movement, enhancing comfort for everyday wear.
Is the ADIPRENE+ cushioning removable?
The ADIPRENE+ cushioning is integrated into the sole for optimal comfort and support and is not designed to be removable. If you use custom orthotics, check if they fit comfortably over the existing insole.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The suede and leather materials are not inherently water-resistant. We strongly recommend applying a quality water and stain repellent spray specifically for suede and leather to offer some protection against light moisture.
What makes the 'gum rubber outsole' special?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction and durability while also contributing to the shoe's iconic vintage aesthetic. Its distinctive brown color is a hallmark of classic sports footwear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or cleaner designed for suede can be applied sparingly.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. The regular fit allows for flexibility; try different lacing techniques to customize the fit to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder underneath, and then reinserting it.
Color fading or uneven appearance on suede.
Exposure to direct sunlight or harsh conditions can affect suede. Protect your shoes with appropriate sprays and store them in a cool, dark place. A suede renovator spray can sometimes restore color.

Setup: Simply lace up your new Handball Spezials through the eyelets for a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to your preference. Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult wear and complement a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and chinos to shorts and skirts. Their classic design makes them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Care: To maintain the premium suede and leather: 1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or suede cleaner for dirt and scuffs. For leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth. 2. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather before first wear. 3. Drying: If wet, stuff with newspaper and allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain shape.
