FAQs
What material are the adidas Handball Spezial trainers made of?
These trainers are crafted from a combination of premium leather and soft suede, offering both durability and a comfortable feel.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While inspired by sports heritage, the Handball Spezial are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, specialized suede cleaners are recommended, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
What is the fit like?
The fit is a classic trainer fit. Some users may find they require a break-in period for maximum comfort, especially if they have not worn similar styles before.
What does 'Grey One' refer to in the colorway?
'Grey One' refers to the primary grey color of the shoe, complemented by 'Core Black' accents and a 'Gum4' colored sole.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What size is this guide referring to?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider wearing them with thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, dabbing gently. Allow to air dry completely.
Gum sole is dirty
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean, damp cloth to remove residue. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
