FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard Adidas sizing, though the suede upper may stretch slightly with repeated wear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede texture and the adhesive bonding of the gum sole.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, suede is naturally porous and will absorb water. Using a protective spray helps, but they are not designed for rainy weather.

What is the best way to clean the gum sole?

Wipe the gum sole down with a cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent.

Is this a unisex model?

The Handball Spezial series offers a wide variety of styles across both male and female collections; always check the size conversion for your specific region.

Do they provide arch support?

They offer standard support suitable for casual daily wear, but they do not feature specialized orthotic inserts.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or marks on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush to gently buff away dry surface stains.

Sole has lost traction

Clean the gum sole with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to remove accumulated grit and restore grip.

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural characteristic of suede; use a shoe tree when not wearing to minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. For long-term maintenance, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before the first use to repel water and dirt. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the suede nap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the shoes in water. To maintain the shape of the trainers when not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and consider using shoe trees or paper inserts.
