FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to try the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash suede sneakers, as the water and agitation can damage the delicate material and adhesive.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
While they are comfortable for light walking, they lack the technical cushioning and stability required for high-impact gym workouts.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to create a protective barrier.
Does the gum sole provide good traction?
Yes, the rubber compound used in the gum sole offers excellent grip on most dry, flat surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry eraser to gently buff away dry dirt stains.
Suede color appears faded
Consider using a suede revitalizing spray or color restorer specifically matched to the shoe's pigment.
Gum sole shows scuffs
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure you dry the sole immediately after.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, we recommend applying a suede-specific water repellent spray before wearing them outdoors for the first time. For regular cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust or dried mud. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as these can ruin the suede texture and color. If the suede gets wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or warping of the material.
