FAQs

What materials are these sneakers made from?

These sneakers feature a durable suede upper with leather details, a textile lining, and a gum rubber outsole. They also incorporate eco-friendly leather and other materials.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

While inspired by handball shoes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. It is not intended for high-performance sports or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush and a mild soap solution can be used.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

These shoes feature a regular fit and are generally considered true to standard UK adult female sizing. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to consult a size guide or try them on.

Are there any eco-friendly aspects to these shoes?

Yes, adidas has used eco-friendly leather and materials in the construction of these sneakers to help reduce their environmental impact.

Can I wear these in the rain?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While some protection can be offered by a suede protector spray, it's best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage and staining.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

The suede and leather materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure you are tying the laces securely. A double knot can provide extra security if needed.

Color fading on suede

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from light when not in use.

  • Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, social gatherings, urban exploration, and casual outings where comfort and style are prioritized.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede sneakers:

  1. Initial Protection: Before the first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning (Suede): Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning (Suede Stains): For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied to a clean cloth. Dab, do not rub, the affected area. Allow to air dry completely.
  4. Cleaning (Leather Details): Wipe any leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  5. Outsole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For tougher marks, a soft brush and mild soap can be used.
  6. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the materials.
  7. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
