FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball or other sports?

While inspired by the original handball shoe, the modern Adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its construction offers comfort and grip for daily use, but it's not engineered for the rigorous demands of competitive sports.

How should I clean the white leather and suede parts?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For leather and synthetic parts, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'LWG preferred materials' mean?

'LWG preferred materials' indicates that the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, which promotes sustainable and environmentally sound practices in the leather industry.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Adidas Handball Spezial typically runs true to size with a regular fit. We recommend referring to the official Adidas size chart if you are unsure.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

While durable, the suede components can be sensitive to moisture. It's advisable to apply a protective spray designed for suede and leather if you anticipate wearing them in wet conditions, and to avoid heavy rain.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a durable mix of high-quality leather and synthetic materials, with prominent suede elements.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, apply a specific suede cleaner as per product instructions.

Reduced grip on sole

Inspect the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive dirt. Clean the tread grooves thoroughly with a brush and water to restore optimal traction.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across your foot. The regular fit should provide comfort with proper lacing.

  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for suede and leather to offer an extra layer of protection against the elements.
