FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions. If you typically wear a 8.5 in other adidas Originals models, you should expect a consistent fit.
Can I use these for playing handball?
While inspired by handball, these are currently marketed as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the modern technical features required for professional indoor sports.
What is the best way to clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently remove debris. Avoid getting the suede overly saturated.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert personal orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The Handball Spezial features a durable combination of suede and synthetic materials chosen for their heritage feel and longevity.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The shoe provides basic, flat-profile support consistent with retro indoor trainers; for advanced arch support, an aftermarket insole is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid excessive water which can damage the nap.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty maintaining white brightness
Use a white shoe protector spray before initial wear to repel liquids and stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their aesthetic, avoid machine washing or drying. For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede and textile surfaces. For deeper stains, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, testing in an inconspicuous area first. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading on the blue accents. Compatibility-wise, these shoes adhere to standard UK sizing, so selecting your usual size is recommended for the best fit.
