FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical cushioning required for running.

How do I keep the suede clean?

Keep them dry and use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt. Use a protective spray to prevent staining.

Does the shoe run true to size?

Yes, adidas Handball Spezial trainers generally fit true to size, but consider the structure of the suede which provides a snug feel.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the adhesive on the outsole.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is crafted from premium suede, providing a soft texture and durable finish.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dusty

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Stubborn surface stains on suede

Use a specialized suede eraser and work in small, circular motions.

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or ensure the eyelets are fully tightened for a more secure lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best out of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, ensure you lace them comfortably to lock your heel in place without cutting off circulation. Given the suede material, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray before the first wear to repel water and stains. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and a dedicated suede eraser for minor marks. Keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
