FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear. For competitive handball, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the white stripes on the shoes?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently wipe the stripes. For stubborn dirt, a magic eraser can be used carefully on the rubber or synthetic parts, avoiding the suede.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture, leading to stains and material degradation. Consider using a water-repellent spray for light moisture protection.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be a small amount of space at the toe. Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas series?
The Handball Spezial is characterized by its classic low-top silhouette and often features a suede or leather upper, reflecting its heritage as a popular indoor sports shoe from the past, adapted for lifestyle wear.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction for everyday walking and activities. Regular use will naturally cause some wear over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray to help maintain color vibrancy.
Stains on suede
Address stains immediately with a suede eraser or cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers good traction, but grip may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discomfort due to fit
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Suede can stretch slightly over time, but an incorrect initial fit may lead to persistent discomfort.
