FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial trainers waterproof?
No, they are not designed to be waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain and to use a protective spray to guard against light moisture.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
They feature a standard, low-profile insole. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to replace the standard insole with an orthotic insert.
How should I clean the striped fabric panels?
Gently dab the fabric with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water and a very small amount of gentle detergent, then allow them to air dry away from heat sources.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on vintage court designs; they are not intended for running or high-intensity sports.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, yes. They are designed to provide a standard fit for adult women, but individual preference for room in the toe box may vary.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel stiff when first worn.
The materials often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot shape.
The gum sole is showing signs of dirt.
Use a damp sponge or a mild eraser specifically made for rubber soles to gently rub away surface marks and scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the surface. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or discoloration.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best lockdown across the midfoot.
- Protection: Applying a standard water-repellent spray designed for suede or fabric can help protect the outer material from light rain and stains.
