FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash these trainers, as the water and agitation will destroy the velvet material and the structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the best way to clean the gum sole?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and scrub the rubber carefully to remove dirt, then wipe away any excess residue.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While they provide good lateral support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle fashion trainers; they lack the modern shock absorption required for heavy weightlifting or running.
Does the velvet material hold up in rain?
Velvet is highly absorbent and can easily stain or water-mark if exposed to rain. We recommend using a fabric-safe water repellent spray to provide a light layer of protection.
Troubleshooting
Velvet losing its texture or appearing matted
Use a soft brush specifically designed for fabric or suede to gently restore the direction of the velvet fibers.
Squeaking sounds on smooth floors
This is often due to moisture or polished floor surfaces; wipe the outsole with a dry cloth to ensure the rubber is clean and free of debris.
Insole comfort decrease over time
The EVA insole can be removed and replaced with a secondary orthotic insert if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed to fit true to size. To keep your velvet Spezial trainers looking new, avoid exposure to water and direct mud. If they become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the velvet pile. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can ruin the texture and color of the velvet. For deep cleaning, spot-clean gently with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials.
