FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

The adidas Handball Spezial Shoes are inspired by archival handball designs but are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. They are not engineered for the specific demands of competitive handball.

How do I clean the suede material?

For suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.

What is the best way to break in new shoes?

Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing them around the house before extended outings can help them mold to your feet.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede, and compromise the shoe's structure.

What is the fit like?

These shoes are designed with a regular fit, intended to be comfortable for most adult feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts.

How durable are the reinforced toe and heel?

The reinforced areas are designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, adding longevity to the shoe's structure in critical zones.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears worn or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Many sports or shoe stores carry replacement laces.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
