FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though some users with wider feet prefer a half-size up for extra comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never wash suede trainers in a machine as it will damage the material and the integrity of the adhesive.
How do I remove stains from the suede?
Use a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth to gently dab at the stain.
Are these official Manchester United products?
Yes, this specific model is an official collaboration between adidas Originals and Manchester United FC.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from premium, smooth suede.
Can I use these for indoor court sports?
While originally a handball shoe, the modern lifestyle version is best suited for casual wear rather than intense professional sports.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift and remove surface dust without pressing dirt into the fibers.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize permanent creasing.
Scuffing on the gum rubber sole
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the original finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is constructed from suede, it is highly recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before your first wear. To maintain the appearance, gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid getting the shoes soaked, as water can cause the blue dye to bleed or the material to stiffen. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can crack the leather and damage the glue.
