FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the adidas Handball Spezial is made from rich suede, providing a distinctive and classic look.

How do I clean the suede on these sneakers?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always following the product's instructions. Remember to use a protector spray before wear.

Are these suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While originally designed as a functional handball trainer, the flat sole does not offer the advanced cushioning or support required for modern high-impact sports. They are best suited for casual wear and light daily activities.

What is the sole made of?

The sole features a thick gum rubber outsole, known for its durability and excellent traction, originally designed for indoor sports courts.

Do these sneakers come with extra laces?

Yes, each pair of adidas Handball Spezial sneakers includes an extra pair of laces, allowing you to switch up your style or replace worn ones.

Are they true to size?

Most users find adidas Handball Spezial sneakers to fit true to size. It's recommended to refer to adidas' official size guide if you are unsure.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in a single direction to lift the fibers and refresh the look of the suede.

Water spots or light stains on suede

Allow the sneakers to dry completely. Then, use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. For tougher spots, a dedicated suede cleaner may be necessary, following product instructions carefully.

Soles feel slippery or dirty

Clean the rubber outsole regularly. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and scrub gently to remove dirt and grime, which can affect traction.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot. You may also consider replacing worn laces with the extra pair provided.

Care

Proper care for your suede sneakers will significantly extend their lifespan and maintain their aesthetic appeal.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush (a specialized brush with soft bristles and often a rubber or brass side) to gently brush off dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied according to its instructions.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing your sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then let them air dry away from direct heat.
  5. Sole Cleaning: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
