FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball heritage, these shoes are designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear and fashion, not for professional athletic performance.

How do I clean the leather and suede parts?

Use a damp cloth for the leather and a suede brush for suede areas. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality leather, with suede details often found on the iconic three stripes and overlays.

How does the low-profile silhouette affect wearability?

The low-profile design contributes to a lighter feel and a sleeker aesthetic, making them comfortable for extended casual wear and easy to style.

What does the gold 'Spezial' logo signify?

The gold 'Spezial' lettering on the sides is a signature detail that celebrates the adidas heritage and adds a premium touch to the design.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Using a leather protectant spray can offer some water resistance.

What other colors or sizes are available?

This specific product is the "Preloved Yellow" colorway in a UK size 5.5. Other colors and sizes in the Handball Spezial series may be available separately.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Leather shoes can take time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.

Suede material appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, followed by brushing.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. For very slippery surfaces, the grip may be limited as these are lifestyle shoes.
