Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser.

Gum sole is scuffed

Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, carefully try a magic eraser on the rubber part of the sole only.

Laces or lining look dirty

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap. Ensure the area is dried completely.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the soft suede to mold to your foot shape for a more comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The adidas Handball Spezial arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility:

These sneakers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance beyond their original handball roots.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners directly on the suede, as this can cause discoloration or damage.
  • Laces and Lining: The pink laces and lining can be spot-cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure they are dried thoroughly afterwards.
  • Outsole: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. A magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully on stubborn marks on the sole.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and color.
