FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual, all-day wear and style. While durable for general activities, it is not engineered as a high-performance athletic shoe for intensive sports.
How do I properly clean the suede material?
To clean suede, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or eraser should be used according to its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on the suede.
What age group is this specific product designed for?
This model, the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial GS, is specifically designed and sized for older kids.
Do these shoes run true to size?
These shoes feature a regular fit. For the most accurate sizing, we recommend referring to Adidas's official sizing charts or trying them on to ensure optimal comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in rainy weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Exposure to heavy rain or moisture can damage the material and potentially lead to staining or fading. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture, but it's best to avoid heavy rain.
What main materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a durable suede upper for its iconic look, a comfortable synthetic lining, and a reliable rubber outsole for traction.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks or visible dirt on the suede upper
Gently use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper marks, a specialized suede eraser can be applied to lift the scuff. Follow with a suede brush to restore the nap.
Shoes feel uncomfortably tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the foot to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Confirm that the size chosen is appropriate, as these shoes are a regular fit.
Soles seem slippery on certain indoor or outdoor surfaces
Regularly clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. Check the sole for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
Suede material appears flattened or dull
Using a clean suede brush, gently brush the nap of the suede in one consistent direction. This will help to lift the fibers and restore the material's original texture and vibrancy.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the premium look and extend the life of your suede shoes:
- Suede Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the material's nap. For stubborn marks, apply a specialized suede eraser or cleaner sparingly, always following the product's instructions. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
- Water Protection: Suede is not naturally water-resistant. Apply a quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially if you plan to wear them in unpredictable weather. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions.
- Spot Cleaning: Immediately blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the suede.
- Drying: If the shoes become damp, loosely stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause the suede to stiffen or fade.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or crumpled paper inside can help maintain their shape when not in use.
