FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like playing handball?
While the Handball Spezial series has athletic inspiration and heritage, these shoes are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance sports or intense physical activity in modern contexts.
How do I best clean my adidas Handball Spezial shoes?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth for most dirt. For tougher spots, a mild shoe cleaner applied with a cloth is recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes true to size?
These shoes are listed as UK size 7.5. Adidas sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between individuals. It's often recommended to try them on if possible or compare with other adidas footwear you own.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
The adidas Handball Spezial is best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. They are not designed to be waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain could damage the materials and affect their longevity.
What materials are the adidas Handball Spezial shoes made from?
> Info needed: [The specific materials are not provided in the product description, but historically, Handball Spezial models often feature a suede upper and a gum rubber sole, offering both style and grip.]
What does 'Spezial' mean in the product name?
'Spezial' denotes a specific line within adidas that often revisits and reissues classic models, particularly those with a strong heritage in sports or subcultures. It signifies a distinctive design and a nod to original athletic footwear.
Are these shoes for men or women?
While the product attributes for this specific variant list 'Female', the adidas Handball Spezial design is often considered unisex and has a broad appeal across all adults who appreciate its classic style and comfort.
How can I protect the distinctive colours from fading?
To protect the Lucid Blue and Lucid Pink colours, minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When cleaning, use products that are colour-safe and avoid harsh rubbing that could strip the dye. Proper storage in a cool, dark place helps preserve vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing tension. Experiment with different lacing patterns or try different thickness socks to optimize fit. Sizes can vary slightly, so check the UK 7.5 sizing against your usual footwear.
Minor scuffs or marks appear on the surface.
For light marks, gently clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth as per the care instructions. For deeper scuffs, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for the material may be needed.
Colours appear to be fading.
To prevent fading, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes in a cool, dark place when not in use. Ensure cleaning products are colour-safe.
Squeaking sound from the sole.
> Info needed: [Check if the insole is properly seated or try removing and reinserting it. A light sprinkle of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes resolve squeaking. If persistent, it might indicate a manufacturing issue.]
Shoes get wet and smell bad.
If they get wet, allow them to air dry completely. Remove insoles to help them dry faster. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb moisture and odours.

- Cleaning:
- For light dirt and dust, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry brush or a damp cloth.

- > Info needed: [If the shoes feature suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Avoid water directly on suede.]
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials and cause colours to fade.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: > Info needed: [Applying a shoe protector spray designed for the specific material (e.g., suede or general sneaker protector) can help repel water and stains.]
