FAQs

What materials are the adidas Handball Spezial made from?

The upper is crafted from smooth suede leather, while the lining is synthetic, and the outsole is made from grippy gum rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While the design is rooted in the original 1979 handball shoe, this specific release is re-imagined for lifestyle and casual wear. It's not designed for modern high-performance sports.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for minor marks. For protection, consider a suede protector spray. Avoid water saturation and harsh chemicals.

Are adidas Handball Spezial true to size?

Generally, adidas Originals shoes tend to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for a comfortable fit.

What is the T-toe construction?

The T-toe construction is a classic design feature seen on many retro adidas trainers. It refers to the 'T' shaped overlay of material at the front of the shoe, enhancing durability and giving it a distinct vintage look.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

Due to the suede material, it is advisable to avoid heavy wet weather as suede is prone to water damage and staining. Applying a high-quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance against light moisture.

Are these available in other colours or sizes?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically comes in a variety of colourways and sizes, including other UK sizes beyond UK 9 for this specific model. Check the product listings for availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace tension. For a snugger fit, pull laces tighter. For a looser fit, slacken the laces. The padded ankle collar should provide comfortable support once adjusted.

Stains on the suede material.

For fresh stains, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes make a squeaking sound.

This can sometimes occur if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder, and reinserting the insole. If the issue persists, check for any foreign objects or material defects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions

The premium suede upper requires specific care to maintain its look and longevity.

  • Initial Protection: Consider applying a *suede protector spray* before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a *suede brush* to gently remove dust and dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a *suede eraser* or a specialized suede cleaning solution with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
