Adidas Handball Spezial - Green - Suede - UK 4 - IE5896

The uppers are crafted from rich pigskin nubuck, which is a type of premium suede, along with leather overlays for added detail and structure.

No, while they originate from a handball shoe design, the modern Adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual lifestyle wear and fashion. They are not recommended for high-performance sports.

It is highly recommended to treat the suede uppers with a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before their first wear and to reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions whenever possible.

You can clean the gum rubber outsole with a soft brush, mild soap, and water. A damp cloth can wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn scuffs, a 'magic eraser' type sponge can be effective.

Generally, Adidas Handball Spezial shoes are considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit for you.

No, you should never put suede or nubuck shoes in a washing machine. The harsh detergents and tumbling action can severely damage the material, causing discoloration, shrinking, and permanent texture changes. Always follow manual cleaning and care instructions.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in small, even strokes in one direction. For deeper dirt, try a suede eraser.

If the shoes get wet, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn watermarks, a professional suede cleaner may be required.

Clean the gum rubber sole with a mild soap and water solution applied with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective. Rinse lightly and dry immediately.

Ensure you've chosen the correct size. The suede upper will conform to your foot slightly over time. For minor tightness, wear them for short periods around the house or use a shoe stretcher for specific pressure points. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
