FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of these adidas Originals Handball Spezial sneakers is crafted from `premium suede` for a distinctive look and comfortable feel.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While inspired by original handball shoes, this specific model is designed for `retro style` and `all-day comfort` in casual wear. It's not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

Do they run true to size?

These shoes feature a `regular fit`. Most users find them true to their standard UK shoe size, but checking adidas's official size guide is always recommended.

What is the sole made from?

The outsole is made from `grippy gum rubber`, providing excellent traction and durability.

Is this model available in other colors or materials?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series often comes in various `colour_family` options and materials. This specific variant is `Silver Violet/Cream White` with a `suede` upper.

What does 'Handball Spezial' mean?

'Handball Spezial' refers to the shoe's heritage, as it was originally designed in 1979 for handball players. This current model is a modern reinterpretation of that classic design.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as directed.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the `lace closure`. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal tightness for your foot comfort.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the `gum rubber outsole` provides good traction, exercise caution on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris that might reduce grip.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear times. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size or using thin inserts.

These sneakers feature a `regular fit` suitable for most foot types. They are designed for `adult` wearers. While specifically marketed as `women's` in this variant, the classic design often appeals broadly. Pair them with casual outfits for an effortlessly stylish look.

Care

The `premium suede` upper requires careful attention to maintain its appearance.

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, applying it sparingly and blotting gently with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically to guard against water stains and spills.
  3. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
