FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, though the low-profile fit can feel slightly narrower than modern foam-based trainers.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers based on vintage sports designs and lack the necessary cushioning and support for long-distance running.
How do I clean the coloured suede/upper material?
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft cloth; avoid excessive water to prevent color bleeding or staining.
Are these suitable for indoor court sports?
While based on a court shoe design, modern indoor sports may require more advanced shock absorption features than this heritage model provides.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The series is produced in a standard width that fits most users; there are no specific 'wide' or 'narrow' variations for this model.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
The flat cotton laces may require a double knot for a more secure fit during extended wear.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a common characteristic of low-profile trainers; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from direct heat sources and abrasive cleaning agents. For routine maintenance, use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes become soiled, spot-clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap. Since these are adult-sized trainers, ensure you verify your UK sizing, as the slim cut of the Handball Spezial may feel snug compared to wider-fitting performance sneakers. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the materials and adhesives.
