FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The adidas Handball Spezial were originally designed for handball and offer good grip. However, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities rather than intense, specialized sports training.
How do I clean the suede material?
For general cleaning, use a suede brush or eraser. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Any type of casual sock works well. Ankle socks, crew socks, or even no-show socks are suitable depending on your preference and outfit.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet or rainy conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the fit like?
These shoes have a regular fit designed for comfort. They feature a lace closure, allowing you to adjust the fit to your preference.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series comes in a variety of colors. This guide specifically covers the red variant, but other colors like beige, purple, blue, and pink are also available in the Handball Spezial line.
What does 'Spezial' mean?
'Spezial' is German for 'special'. It refers to the original series of adidas shoes that were designed for specific sports, with the Handball Spezial being one of the iconic models.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry dirt or light marks. For tougher stains, try a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, then let air dry. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. If still uncomfortable, consider using wider shoe trees or consulting a professional shoe fitter.
Gum sole is scuffed
Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a magic eraser (used gently) might help, but be cautious not to damage the surrounding suede.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace the laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.
