FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of high-quality, durable suede.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of translucent rubber, designed for excellent grip and cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and urban styling, not for intense athletic performance.

How should I clean the beige and brown suede?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry.

What does the "Alumina" colorway refer to?

"Alumina" refers to the light beige base with muted brown contrasting details of this specific colorway.

What is the main benefit of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole provides excellent traction and stability, while also absorbing shock for enhanced comfort.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, adidas Handball Spezial models are considered true to size. However, suede can have a slight break-in period. It's recommended to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a damp cloth and blot gently. Allow to air dry and brush again.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Suede shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
