FAQs
What are the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial sneakers best used for?
These sneakers are ideal for casual wear, daily activities, and light athletic pursuits. They offer a comfortable and stylish option for everyday use, blending retro aesthetics with modern wearability.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to check the Adidas Originals size guide for the Handball Spezial. Consider your usual shoe size and measure your foot if possible. Trying them on in-store is the most reliable method.
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball play?
While inspired by handball, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For professional-level play, specific performance handball shoes with advanced support and grip features are recommended.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution can be used, followed by air drying. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'Gum2' refer to in the colorway?
'Gum2' refers to the color and material of the outsole, which is typically made of a gum rubber compound known for its durability and grip, in a specific shade of brown or tan.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some durability, they are not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions may damage the materials, especially the suede. It's best to avoid wet weather or use appropriate protective sprays and treatments.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other Adidas sneakers?
The Handball Spezial is characterized by its distinct retro handball design, often featuring a suede upper and a gum sole, offering a blend of vintage sport style and casual comfort, distinguishing it from more modern or performance-focused Adidas models.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose.
Consult the Adidas sizing chart for the Handball Spezial model. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit slightly. If significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size.
Scuff marks on the sole or upper.
For minor scuffs on the rubber sole, a damp cloth with mild soap may suffice. For suede uppers, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush. For stubborn marks, seek professional shoe cleaning advice.
Color transfer from the green accents or sole.
Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing, especially in damp conditions. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics until the color is stable. If significant transfer occurs, clean affected items according to their care instructions.
