FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though individual foot shape can vary.
Can I wear these for playing sports?
While originally a handball shoe, the modern version is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear rather than competitive athletic performance.
How do I protect the suede?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede before the first wear can help protect against minor spills.
What is the primary material used?
Depending on the specific variant, these shoes feature high-quality leather or suede components, consistent with the brand's heritage craftsmanship.
Are these trainers authentic?
Yes, all products sold under this listing come in original packaging and are 100% authentic.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim; if you have very wide feet, you may find the standard fit narrow.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
Leather and suede materials often break in and soften after a few days of regular walking.
Surface stains appearing on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly and consider a double-knot for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable by testing them on a carpeted surface. Because these shoes often utilize suede or premium leather, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud to prevent permanent staining. For general care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and use a leather cleaner for any smooth leather panels. To keep the interior fresh, consider using cedar shoe trees when the sneakers are stored for long periods.
