While historically inspired by handball shoes, the modern adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort and style for everyday wear, not the high-performance support required for competitive sports.
These shoes are designed with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your standard shoe size. If you are unsure, you can refer to the adidas size guide, but typically, they fit true to size.
The upper is made of high-quality suede with leather accents, complemented by a soft synthetic lining and a durable gum rubber outsole for grip.
It's generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and treat them with a suede protector spray.
Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For optimal care, brush them after every few wears to remove dust and dirt. Deep clean with a suede cleaner as needed, typically every few months with regular use.
The adidas Handball Spezial provides standard arch support typical of a classic court sneaker. For individuals requiring significant arch support, custom insoles can be used.

Regularly brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions to minimize damage.
The suede upper and gum sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and mold to your feet for optimal comfort.
While the gum rubber outsole provides good general grip, it's designed for urban and indoor surfaces. For extremely wet, icy, or uneven terrain, additional caution is advised as these shoes are not specialized all-weather or trail footwear.
