FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, never machine wash suede shoes, as the water and agitation will permanently damage the texture and shape.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium suede, supported by a durable gum rubber outsole.

Are these suitable for playing actual handball?

While they were originally designed for the sport in the 1970s, modern players typically prefer synthetic, high-performance court shoes for better support and breathability.

Does this model include any special football team branding?

Yes, this specific version includes an official Arsenal FC badge on the heel tab.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Use a water-repellent spray designed for suede, though we recommend avoiding heavy rain to keep the material in optimal condition.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede

Gently rub the area with a dry, soft-bristled suede brush in the direction of the nap.

Creasing in the suede material

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Soles appearing dusty or discoloured

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to restore the original grip and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt after each use.
  2. Stain Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to create a barrier against light moisture and dust.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue and yellow colour palette over time.
  4. Handling Stains: Use a specialized suede eraser for small dry marks; avoid using water or standard cleaning soaps that could saturate and ruin the material.
