FAQs

Can I use these shoes for outdoor sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for indoor use. The suede material and outsole construction are not suited for the abrasion and moisture found on outdoor pavements.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can stain and ruin the suede texture.

Does the Torsion System provide arch support?

Yes, the Torsion System is specifically designed to provide stability to the midfoot, which helps bridge the gap between the forefoot and heel for a more supportive stride.

Is the sizing consistent with other adidas trainers?

Generally, yes, but always confirm against the provided UK size specification as the Handball Spezial has a distinct heritage fit.

Are the insoles removable?

The EVA insoles are designed for comfort but are not intended to be regularly removed. Forcing them out may damage the footbed structure.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty finding the correct fit

Check the UK sizing label specifically, as US/Euro sizes listed on the box may vary from your standard UK size expectation.

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the texture of the material.

Outsole losing traction

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can cause sliding on smooth indoor surfaces.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent midfoot stability via the Torsion System
  • Responsive cushioning with Adiprene+ technology
  • Durable, non-marking outsole ideal for indoor courts
  • Classic, versatile vintage aesthetic
  • Soft and comfortable interior feel

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining and water damage
  • Not suitable for outdoor use on abrasive terrains
  • Requires careful cleaning routines to maintain longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their shape and material integrity, follow these guidelines. When choosing your size, note that boxes or labels may display international size conversions (US/Euro) that differ from UK sizing; verify your UK size 8.5 fitment upon arrival. For maintenance, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede surface. If liquid spills occur, blot the area immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth—do not rub, as this can push dirt into the suede nap. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep the suede soft.
