FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, though the narrow 70s-inspired cut may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I wear these for playing sports?
While they are based on an indoor court shoe, they are currently marketed as lifestyle trainers; for high-intensity sports, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I protect the suede?
Use a water and stain repellent spray formulated for suede and nubuck, and reapply it periodically.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from smooth suede, complemented by a leather lining.
Is the Manchester United branding permanent?
Yes, the crest is integrated into the heel patch as part of the official team-themed design.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Use a clean suede eraser to gently rub the scuffed area until it fades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, apply a suede-specific protective spray before first use to create a barrier against moisture and dirt. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust and debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather lining and suede finish. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources.
