FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual sports, like handball?

While inspired by original 1979 handball shoes, the adidas Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and daily comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities or modern sports.

How do I clean the suede on my Handball Spezials?

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the sizing like for these sneakers?

The adidas Handball Spezial features a 'regular fit'. We recommend trying your usual adidas size for the best comfort. For precise measurements, please refer to adidas' official size chart.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial is designed for everyday comfort, providing a 'comfy feel day after day' with its soft materials and reliable fit, making it suitable for extended periods on your feet.

What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?

The shoes feature a premium suede upper, leather overlays for the Three-Stripes, a synthetic lining, and a durable rubber outsole.

How can I protect my suede shoes from water and stains?

Before wearing them, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Reapply periodically according to the spray product's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush with a soft suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore texture. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Sole losing grip or appearing worn quickly

Ensure the rubber outsole is regularly cleaned to remove debris that might reduce traction. While designed for durability, for excessive wear, consult a shoe repair specialist or consider replacement.

Laces fraying or coming undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely, possibly using a double knot for added security. Replace frayed laces with new ones to maintain both aesthetics and functionality.

These sneakers require no special setup beyond standard lacing. They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and even some casual dresses, adding a touch of retro flair. For care, it is essential to protect the suede. Before first wear, applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray designed for suede can help preserve their appearance. For cleaning, gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the suede and leather components. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
