FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial good for actual handball?
While originally designed for handball, they offer good grip and a classic feel. However, for professional or high-intensity handball, modern performance shoes may offer superior specialized support and cushioning.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid washing with water.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
These shoes are versatile and can be worn with most types of casual socks, including athletic socks, crew socks, or no-show socks, depending on your preference and outfit.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the adidas Handball Spezial runs true to size for most individuals. It's recommended to check size guides and consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the suede and cause staining. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection for light moisture.
What is the main difference between the Handball Spezial and other adidas shoes?
The Handball Spezial is distinguished by its specific vintage handball-inspired design, typically featuring a suede upper and a distinct rubber cupsole, offering a retro aesthetic compared to more modern athletic shoe designs.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser or a stiff brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid water.
Rubber sole is losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear them with thin socks initially to allow the material to stretch slightly. For persistent tightness, consider professional shoe stretching services.
Laces are worn out
Replace laces with standard athletic shoe laces. Ensure the length and style match the original for best appearance.
