FAQs

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

It is highly recommended to avoid wearing your adidas Handball Spezial sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. The velvet and suede materials are sensitive to moisture and can get damaged, stained, or discolored.

How do I clean the velvet and suede materials?

For light cleaning, use a soft suede brush for the suede parts and a slightly damp, clean cloth to blot the velvet. For deeper cleaning or stains, use cleaning products specifically designed for suede and velvet, following the manufacturer's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically runs true to size with a 'regular fit.' We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are often between sizes, > Info needed: consult the adidas sizing chart for precise measurements.

What type of activities are these sneakers suitable for?

These sneakers are designed for casual wear, fashion styling, and light urban activities. They are not intended for athletic performance, running, or any heavy-duty sports due to the delicate nature of the materials.

How can I protect my sneakers from stains and water?

Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and velvet. This will create a protective barrier against spills and light moisture.

Are these sneakers unisex?

While this specific variant is listed as 'Female', the adidas Handball Spezial design is often considered unisex and is available in various colorways and sizes for different genders. Always check the specific product listing and sizing information.

Troubleshooting

Suede or velvet appears matted or dirty.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. For velvet, carefully blot with a clean, slightly damp cloth in the direction of the fibers. For stubborn dirt, consider a suede and velvet cleaner.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Check your lacing. Ensure laces are not pulled too tight across the top of your foot. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size. The 'regular fit' means they should not feel overly constrictive.

Shoes make a squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Remove insoles and allow both the insoles and shoe interior to air dry thoroughly. If the issue persists, > Info needed: consider applying talcum powder under the insole or consulting a shoe care professional.

Color appears to be fading or dulling.

Direct prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade colors. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light when not in use. Regular cleaning and protection sprays can also help maintain color vibrancy.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial for preserving the velvet and suede materials:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush suede areas with a *suede brush* or a clean, soft cloth. For velvet, use a damp (not wet) cloth and blot gently.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized *suede and velvet cleaner* according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Protection: Apply a *water and stain repellent spray* specifically designed for suede and velvet before first wear and periodically thereafter.
  4. Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry *away from direct heat or sunlight*.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which can damage the delicate materials.
