FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally follows standard Adidas sizing, though individual fit preferences vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the shoe's shape. Hand care is recommended.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede.
Are these shoes suitable for gym workouts?
While they were originally designed for handball, their flat sole and vintage construction are better suited for casual lifestyle use rather than modern intense gym workouts.
How do I protect the suede from water?
Apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before initial use.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Surface stains appearing on the suede
Use a dry suede eraser for spot treatment, avoiding liquid cleaners unless necessary.
Gum sole loses traction
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure. To ensure a comfortable fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot volume. Given the suede upper, avoid wearing these in heavy rain or muddy conditions. Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede-specific cleaning solution, taking care not to oversaturate the fabric. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
