FAQs

What materials are these shoes made from?

The upper is made of durable suede, the lining is synthetic textile, and the outsole is rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

While they have a heritage in handball, the Adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual styling. They offer good traction for urban environments but are not intended for high-performance athletic sports.

How do I properly clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Avoid excessive water and harsh scrubbing. Always air dry.

Do these shoes provide good grip?

Yes, the rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable stability and traction on various surfaces for everyday wear.

What kind of fit can I expect?

These shoes feature a standard cut with a lace closure, allowing for an adjustable and comfortable fit. They are designed for adult feet, with this specific model being a UK Size 6 (Female).

What colors are featured on this specific model?

This "Black Rose" variant features black suede with pink accents, complemented by metallic gold branding.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While they can withstand light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water, as suede can be sensitive to moisture and may require specific treatment if it gets wet.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, double-check your size against the Adidas sizing guide.

Reduced traction on the sole

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be affecting grip.

Suede is stained

For light stains, try a suede eraser. For tougher stains, use a reputable suede cleaning product following its instructions carefully. Act quickly to prevent stains from setting.

Unpleasant odor from the interior

Air out the shoes regularly in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in a sachet inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Adidas Handball Spezial shoes:

  1. Suede Upper:
  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the area. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water, which can damage the suede. Let it air dry away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  1. Rubber Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Synthetic Lining: To keep the interior fresh, you can air out the shoes regularly. If necessary, gently wipe the lining with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it dries completely before wearing again.
