FAQs
Are the Adidas Handball Spezial true to size?
Generally, the Adidas Handball Spezial fits true to size for most individuals. However, it's always recommended to check sizing charts and reviews, as personal fit can vary.
Can I wear these for actual handball or intense sports?
While originally designed for handball, their current popularity is mainly as a lifestyle shoe. For intense sports requiring specialized support and cushioning, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the pink accents on the shoe?
For the pink accents (stripes, lining, laces), spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material or color.
Is the suede material waterproof?
No, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is the main difference between this and other Adidas trainers?
The Handball Spezial is distinguished by its classic 70s-inspired design, predominantly suede upper, and low-profile silhouette, offering a more vintage aesthetic compared to modern, performance-oriented trainers.
How should I store my Handball Spezial trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the suede and prevent discoloration.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or losing color
Avoid excessive moisture. If color fading occurs, a suede dye or recoloring product may help. Ensure proper storage away from direct sunlight.
Soles losing grip
Clean the rubber soles regularly with a damp cloth. Excessive wear may indicate the need for replacement, though this is rare with normal use.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Consider using insoles for additional cushioning or arch support if needed.
