FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial are primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker inspired by vintage handball shoes. While they offer good comfort and grip for casual wear, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for competitive athletic performance in handball.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush away dirt with a soft suede brush. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water, as it can cause discoloration and damage to the suede. Always air dry away from heat.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they are susceptible to water damage and staining. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial series is available in a variety of colorways. Please check the product listings for current available options.
What is the fit like?
These shoes generally have a standard fit. However, suede can mold to the foot over time. If you have particularly wide feet, you might consider trying them on in person if possible.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide good traction and longevity for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser. Always brush in one direction for best results.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day to allow the shoes to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a wider fit is needed.
White marks on suede after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove marks. Water-repellent spray can help prevent future issues.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be affecting traction.
