FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Handball Spezial fits true to size, but the suede material will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot shape over time.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never wash suede trainers in a machine as it will damage the material and the integrity of the adhesive.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed as an indoor handball shoe, modern versions are intended for lifestyle and fashion use rather than competitive sports.
How do I clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely first, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush.
Is the leather/suede ethically sourced?
Adidas follows strict material sourcing policies; please refer to the official adidas sustainability portal for detailed information regarding their leather and suede supply chains.
Does the red color bleed?
High-quality dyes are used, but excessive water exposure can cause color migration; keep the shoes dry to prevent this.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently use a suede brush in circular motions to lift the fibers and restore the texture.
Minor scuffing on the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the sole; avoid getting the suede upper wet.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for suede footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first wear, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray. This creates a protective barrier against the elements. To maintain the appearance, use a soft-bristle suede brush regularly to remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the material. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser kit, avoiding excessive water contact. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the red detailing. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry slowly; never use heat sources like radiators, as this may warp the material.
