FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to size, though some users with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never put suede trainers in the washing machine as it will ruin the material and the adhesive construction of the sole.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they were originally designed for handball, they are currently positioned as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for intense athletic activity.

What is the best way to protect the suede?

Apply a high-quality suede protector spray every few months to create a barrier against dirt and water.

Is the heel stiff or soft?

The heel features a reinforced panel for stability and durability, which provides a structured fit rather than a soft, collapsing feel.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently buff the nap of the suede to restore its texture.

Minor scuffs on the upper

Use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area, then brush the area in one direction to realign the fibers.

Unpleasant odor after extended wear

Remove the OrthoLite sock liner if possible and air it out, or use a deodorizing spray specifically designed for footwear interiors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic vintage design with authentic heritage appeal
  • Excellent grip provided by the gum rubber outsole
  • High level of comfort thanks to the OrthoLite sock liner
  • Versatile style that pairs well with casual outfits

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and wet weather
  • The low-profile design may provide less arch support than modern performance sneakers
  • Material requires specific care products to keep the suede looking clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, it is essential to treat them with a suede-specific water repellent spray before your first wear. To clean, use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water, as this will damage the suede fibers. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally, avoiding heat sources like radiators which can warp the materials.
