FAQs
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While the Handball Spezial line has roots in athletic footwear, the current iterations are primarily designed for casual lifestyle wear and may not offer the specific support or traction required for professional handball.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Adidas Originals and compare it with your foot measurement. The UK 8.5 size is specific to this variant.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions as the materials, especially suede, can be damaged by excessive moisture.
What other colours are available?
The Handball Spezial series is released in various colourways. While this guide focuses on Carbon/Core Black/Gum4, other options like Grey/Black are also available across different product listings.
Is the suede material treated for water resistance?
Typically, standard suede is not inherently water-resistant. For added protection, consider using a suede protector spray, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between 'Low Shoes' and 'Trainers' in this series?
'Low Shoes' is a general classification for low-cut footwear, while 'Trainers' often implies a slightly sportier aesthetic or function. For the Handball Spezial, both terms refer to similar low-top sneaker designs within the series.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
Allow a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the shoes conform to your feet.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar material and length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a suede brush to restore the nap and a suede eraser for minor marks.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Prolonged exposure to water can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
