FAQs
How do I clean the suede uppers?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution, following the product instructions carefully. Always allow them to air dry.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial are designed for casual wear and style, not for high-performance running or athletic sports. They offer everyday comfort but lack specialized athletic support systems.
What is the primary material of these sneakers?
These sneakers feature smooth suede uppers, providing a premium feel and distinctive look, complemented by a durable rubber outsole for traction and longevity.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and become damaged. If worn in rain, ensure they are properly dried and consider applying a water-resistant suede protector regularly.
How do these shoes typically fit?
Adidas Originals Handball Spezial generally fit true to size for UK women's sizing. However, individual foot shape can vary, so ensure your usual size feels comfortable with appropriate sock thickness.
What does 'Handball Spezial' mean?
The 'Handball Spezial' originates from a 1979 indoor sports shoe designed for handball players. Today, it has been re-imagined as an iconic casual lifestyle sneaker, retaining its classic silhouette and vintage charm.
How can I protect the color from fading?
To prevent color fading, store your sneakers away from direct sunlight and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays. Regular application of a suede protector can also help maintain the vibrancy of the color.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, gently use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, a suede cleaning solution can be applied carefully.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing tension for a more customized fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if standard lacing doesn't provide adequate comfort. Consider trying socks of different thicknesses.
Color seems to be fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause suede colors to lighten. Store shoes in a cool, dark place when not in use to preserve their original hue.
Unpleasant odor develops
Allow shoes to air out after each wear, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda (inside a sock or sachet) in the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care
- Suede Protection: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains, helping to preserve the material's integrity.
- Cleaning Suede: For general dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose particles and restore the nap. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. *Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.*
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This prevents color fading and helps maintain the material's quality over time. Using shoe trees can help retain their shape.
