FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, the adidas Handball Spezial fits true to standard athletic sizing, though individual preference for width may vary.

Can I use these for handball?

While originally designed for handball, modern versions are optimized for lifestyle use. For professional or high-intensity play, dedicated performance court shoes are recommended.

Are they waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof and are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions.

How do I maintain the suede material?

Use a dry suede brush and avoid contact with water or oil-based substances.

Can I remove the insoles?

Most models feature a removable insole, allowing you to swap them for your own orthotic inserts if needed.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

This is common with low-profile trainers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape.

Surface dirt on the upper

Gently use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly dampened cloth with mild soapy water, avoiding excessive saturation.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace the laces with standard flat athletic laces matching the length of the originals to maintain the classic look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top shape, clean them regularly by wiping down the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and glue bonds. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility is best with casual attire; they pair particularly well with tapered trousers or denim, allowing the vibrant red and blue detailing to stand out.
