FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider ordering based on your typical adidas footwear fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and ruin the glue bonds. Always hand-clean using professional suede-care tools.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the gum rubber used in the Handball Spezial series is typically non-marking, making it suitable for indoor use.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Does this model offer arch support?
The model features a standard flat-bottom construction. If you require significant arch support, consider using a thin, third-party insole.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on the suede surface
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush away with a soft suede brush in the direction of the nap.
General scuff marks
Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristle brush to gently buff the affected area until the scuff is minimized.
Material feels stiff after storage
Gently rub the suede with a brush to loosen the fibers and restore its original soft texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from suede, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. It is recommended to treat the shoes with a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the suede becomes dirty, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently damage the material. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue color from fading.
