FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for professional handball games?
While inspired by handball shoes and offering good traction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational use. For professional play, dedicated, more supportive handball shoes might be recommended.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet or rainy conditions as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and brush afterwards.
What is the difference between the brown, white, and multicolor variants?
The base color is typically brown suede, but variants may differ in the color of the accent stripes (often white or cream) or the specific shade of brown used. The 'multicolor' designation might refer to a more varied use of accent colors.
How do I clean the gum sole?
You can clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe it clean and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in adult men's sizes, with specific UK sizes listed such as 5, 7, 11, 8, 8.5, 4, 6, and 9.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The Handball Spezial feature a standard insole design. While comfortable for casual wear, they may not offer significant built-in arch support for individuals who require specialized orthopedic features.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Ensure shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Gum sole losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
Fit feels too snug initially
Suede shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and they should gradually conform to your foot shape.
