FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?

How do I clean the suede portions?
Use a suede brush or a dry eraser specifically for suede. Never submerge in water.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
It provides standard support; if you require high-arch support, you may wish to add custom insoles.
Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but consider your preferred sock thickness.
Are these made of real leather?
The product features durable leather and suede construction as indicated in the specifications.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable if you need to use orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose throughout the day
Try a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet for increased ankle security.
Suede material appears dull or dusty
Use a specialized soft-bristle suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Slight discomfort during initial break-in
Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially with thin, moisture-wicking socks until the leather softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with the adidas Handball Spezial is straightforward: adjust the laces for your preferred tension to ensure a snug fit. For care, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt and dust from the leather and suede upper. Avoid machine washing, as the moisture can damage the adhesives and the texture of the suede. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening or cracking. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
