FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the suede upper and the glue bonding the sole. Always clean by hand using specialized products.
What is the primary material used?
The primary upper material is high-quality suede, complemented by a durable gum rubber outsole.
Are they suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than professional running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I maintain the gold foil branding?
Avoid scrubbing the tongue directly with stiff brushes or harsh chemicals to prevent the gold foil branding from fading or peeling.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the gum rubber used is typically non-marking, making it safe for most indoor flooring.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt stains on the suede
Allow the mud to dry completely before using a soft brush to gently lift the debris. Use a professional suede cleaner for persistent spots.
Creasing along the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of suede footwear; using a cedar shoe tree can help maintain the shape when not in use.
Soles losing their grip
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dust or surface oil that might impede traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. For deeper stains, use a suede-safe eraser.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant red dye over time.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can crack the rubber or warp the leather structure.
