FAQs

Are the Adidas Handball Spezial shoes suitable for playing sports?

While originally designed for handball players in 1979, these shoes are now primarily considered a lifestyle and fashion shoe. They are comfortable for everyday wear and light activity but are not recommended for high-performance sports due to advancements in athletic footwear.

How do I best clean the suede material?

For general dirt, use a suede brush to gently brush the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Suede is not naturally water-resistant. It's highly recommended to treat your shoes with a suede protector spray to repel water and stains before wearing them in wet conditions. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage to the suede.

What kind of sole do these shoes have?

The Adidas Handball Spezial features a soft gum rubber outsole. This material provides comfort, flexibility, and contributes to the shoe's classic vintage aesthetic.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The shoes feature a traditional lace closure, allowing you to adjust the tightness for a secure and customized fit. Ensure laces are tied comfortably, neither too loose nor too tight.

What is the material of the shoe upper?

The upper is crafted from 100% premium suede, offering a soft feel and a distinctive, high-quality look.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flat or matted down.

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. Brush in one consistent direction.

Shoes have a minor scuff or surface dirt.

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away scuffs and dirt. Follow up with a suede brush to tidy the nap.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight during wear.

Adjust the lace closure. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across the eyelets until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit that supports your foot.

Slight discoloration or fading of suede over time.

This can be natural with suede. Protect from direct prolonged sunlight during storage. For significant issues, consider professional suede cleaning or re-dying by a specialist.

Compatibility

The Adidas Handball Spezial Shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual wardrobes. They pair well with:

  • Denim: Classic combination with jeans of any wash.
  • Chinos & Trousers: Elevate a casual smart look.
  • Shorts: Perfect for warmer weather and relaxed outfits.
  • Skirts & Dresses: Can add a sporty, retro touch to more feminine styles.

Care

As these shoes feature a 100% suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity.

  • Protection: Treat suede with a protective spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  • Cleaning Dust and Dirt: Use a dedicated suede brush (soft brass wire or nylon bristles) to gently brush off loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
  • Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp, clean cloth. *Always test on an inconspicuous area first.* Blot gently, do not rub aggressively, as this can damage the suede.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage to the suede.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing them to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions without prior protection.
