FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to go half a size up for a more comfortable fit.

Can I wear these for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, modern specialized athletic shoes provide better technical support for high-intensity indoor sports than these heritage lifestyle versions.

How do I protect the suede?

It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

Suede is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. It is best to avoid wearing these during heavy rain.

Does the gum sole mark floors?

No, the gum rubber outsole is non-marking and is designed to provide traction on indoor surfaces without leaving scuff marks.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently use a suede brush to lift the nap and restore the texture of the material.

Dirt stains on the upper

Wait for the dirt to dry completely before brushing it off; use a suede eraser for localized stains.

Laces becoming loose

Ensure a double knot is used if you find the standard factory lacing slips during active movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile and timeless retro design
  • Reliable traction provided by the gum outsole
  • Comfortable for all-day daily wear
  • High-quality suede material for a premium feel

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain the nap

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure allowing for a customizable fit. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from harsh rain or mud, as the suede material absorbs liquid easily. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. For deeper stains, employ a specialized suede eraser or a light application of a dedicated suede cleaning solution. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes will damage the suede fibers and the integrity of the gum outsole.
