FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While inspired by athletic design, the Handball Spezial are primarily recommended for casual wear. They offer comfort for walking but may not provide the specific support needed for intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the brown suede material?
Use a suede brush for daily dirt and dust. For stains, a suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth followed by air drying is recommended. Avoid machine washing or heavy saturation.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a comfortable rubber, with a semi-transparent gum rubber outsole for traction and a classic look.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial series often features various colorways. This guide focuses on the brown model, but other options may be available.
How should I store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing over time.
Is the sizing standard UK sizing?
Yes, the sizing indicated (e.g., UK 9.5) follows standard UK men's footwear sizing conventions.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or dirty
Use a suede brush regularly to maintain the texture. For stains, spot clean with a suede cleaner or a damp cloth, and allow to air dry completely. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Discoloration of stripes
Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth if dirt is visible, but do not scrub aggressively.
Soles losing grip
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean. Rubbing the soles with a slightly damp cloth can sometimes restore tackiness. For significant wear, replacement might be considered.
Shoe shape changing
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape and prevent creasing.
