FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most wearers, but individuals with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can permanently damage the suede and leather materials.

Are the insoles removable?

Most models of the Handball Spezial feature a standard sock liner; check the specific pair to see if it is glued or removable.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The Handball Spezial range uses high-quality suede and leather depending on the specific model variation.

Is this shoe suitable for intense sports?

While originally designed for handball, this version is intended for lifestyle and casual use and lacks the advanced cushioning found in modern professional sports gear.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede surface

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift and remove surface particles in the direction of the grain.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases in the leather or suede.

Minor scuff marks

Gently rub the affected area with a clean suede eraser until the scuff disappears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are typically crafted from suede or leather, proper care is essential. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as suede is prone to water staining. For regular maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather or suede to stiffen and crack. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to ensure the materials retain their shape and color integrity.
