FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while they are rooted in handball sports history, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and do not contain the technical cushioning required for long-distance running.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Always use a dry suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and avoid using water directly on the material.

Does the Handball Spezial run true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard UK sizing for adults. If you have wider feet, consider checking the fit carefully or choosing your standard size.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede is sensitive to moisture, and heavy rain may cause staining or texture damage. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally.

What is the benefit of the gum sole?

The gum sole provides superior traction and durability compared to standard foam outsoles, while also providing the signature vintage look.

Do these come in leather versions?

Yes, certain variations of the Handball Spezial are available in leather, depending on the specific model and release.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the surface in one direction to lift the nap and restore the texture.

Water spots on the suede

Dab the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb excess moisture and let the shoe air dry completely at room temperature, then brush.

Surface scuffs on the rubber sole

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a pencil eraser for light marks on the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adidas Handball Spezial trainers remain in pristine condition, proper care is essential.

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect against minor spills.
  2. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and debris from the surface after each use.
  3. Deep Cleaning: If the material becomes soiled, use a designated suede cleaning solution or a clean eraser specifically for suede; avoid saturating the material with water.
  4. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause color fading in suede.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to verify your UK size against the size chart before purchase to ensure optimal fit.
