FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Adidas Handball Spezial ST W is specifically designed for skaters, featuring lower proportions and reinforced high-scuff areas on the toebox and heel for enhanced durability and performance on the skatepark.

How do I clean the suede and mesh materials?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For mesh and rubber, a mild soap solution with a soft cloth or brush works well. Always air dry away from direct heat. Regular brushing helps prevent dirt buildup.

Can I wear these for general everyday use?

Absolutely. While built for skating, their enhanced comfort, supportive design, and classic terrace style make them excellent for everyday casual wear, offering both style and comfort.

What kind of support do these shoes offer?

These sneakers offer increased comfort and support, particularly beneficial for the demands of skating. The flat sole provides excellent board feel, and the overall construction gives a stable and secure fit for various activities.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Adidas sizing generally runs true to fit. However, for the best accuracy, it's always recommended to consult the official Adidas size chart and compare it with your foot measurements, especially if you are between sizes.

What is the primary material composition?

The upper is crafted with premium suede overlays and a breathable mesh upper, complemented by a textile lining and a durable rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner following product instructions.

White mesh/outsole gets dirty quickly

Clean regularly with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn scuffs on the rubber outsole, a magic eraser can be effective. Consider applying a protective spray for future stain resistance.

Shoes feel loose or too tight

Adjust the lace closure. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find one that offers the best comfort and support for your foot shape. Ensure you've selected the correct size based on adidas's sizing chart.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's coming from inside, or ensure the sole is clean and dry if it's external.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced durability for skateboarding activities.
  • Combines classic style with functional design.
  • Premium suede and mesh materials for quality feel.
  • Increased comfort and support for active use.
  • Excellent board feel due to the flat sole and rubber outsole.

Cons

  • Specialized design for skating means certain features might be less beneficial for non-skate specific activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Adidas Handball Spezial ST W sneakers feature a traditional lace closure. To prepare them for wear, simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them securely. Adjust the tightness to achieve a comfortable and supportive fit that suits your activity.

Compatibility

  • User: Designed for adult females.
  • Activity: Ideal for skateboarding due to its reinforced design and flat sole. Also perfectly suited for casual everyday wear as a fashion statement or for general urban exploration.
  • Sizing: This specific model is available in various UK sizes, including UK 2. Always refer to adidas's official size charts for the best fit, as sizing can sometimes vary slightly.

Care Instructions

Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your Handball Spezial ST W sneakers, especially given their suede and mesh construction and white color.

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede and mesh using a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth.
  2. Spot Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Apply sparingly, brush gently in one direction to lift the nap, and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can damage the suede texture.
  3. Spot Cleaning (Mesh/Rubber): For mesh uppers and the rubber outsole, a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft cloth or sponge can be used. Wipe clean and then wipe with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
  4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to shrink, crack, or discolor.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and mesh materials. This can help to repel water and stains, aiding in keeping your white sneakers looking fresh.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
