FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use, not for running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the white leather safely?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild leather-safe cleaner, wiping gently in circular motions.

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, the Handball Spezial is a unisex model designed to fit a wide range of adult foot shapes.

What material is used for the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from premium leather, with contrasting suede accents.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or scuffs on the white leather

Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner; avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Creasing in the leather during wear

Leather creasing is natural; use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shoe structure.

Suede components look matted or dull

Use a specialized soft-bristle brush designed for suede to gently lift the nap and remove dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are classic trainers, no complex setup is required; simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot width upon the first wear. To maintain the integrity of your Handball Spezials, keep them away from excessive moisture or harsh chemicals that could damage the leather or suede accents. When the shoes become soiled, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the suede components, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the texture. To preserve the shape, consider using shoe trees when the sneakers are stored for long periods. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
