FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.

Are they suitable for actual handball?

While rooted in court history, modern specialized handball requires technical performance features not found in this lifestyle variant.

Does the suede color fade?

Like all dyed natural materials, the color may fade if exposed to excessive direct sunlight for long periods.

Are these trainers supportive for long walks?

They provide adequate support for casual daily wear, though they lack the high-tech cushioning found in modern long-distance running shoes.

What is the best way to remove water spots from suede?

Dab the area with a slightly damp cloth to dampen the entire surface evenly, then let it air dry naturally to prevent water rings.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede upper

Gently use a dry suede brush in circular motions to lift the nap and dislodge surface dirt.

Scuff marks on the rubber sole

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber perimeter, then dry immediately with a clean towel.

Laces becoming frayed

Standard flat athletic laces of the same length can be used as replacements if the original laces show significant wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-casual outfits
  • High-quality suede construction provides a premium feel
  • Rubber sole ensures good traction for daily walking
  • Classic aesthetic that remains a staple of adidas heritage

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Requires regular upkeep to maintain the finish
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance or specialized handball use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their look, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Suede Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use to create a protective barrier.
  2. Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust or light dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant blue coloring over time.
  4. Moisture Control: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like hair dryers, which can warp the material or cause the glue to lose its bond.
