FAQs

Are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by a vintage handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for intense athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede upper?

For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Handball Spezial is designed for a regular fit. Most users find them true to their usual adidas size. If you are unsure, referring to the adidas size chart or trying them on is recommended.

Are these sneakers waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What does 'eco-friendly materials' mean?

This product incorporates eco-friendly leather and other materials in its construction, contributing to a reduced environmental impact in line with adidas' sustainability efforts.

What is the gum rubber outsole for?

The gum rubber outsole provides durable traction and grip, characteristic of classic sports footwear. It also adds to the shoe's distinct retro aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner as per product instructions, then brush gently after drying.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system for a customized fit. For slight tightness, try wearing them with thin socks initially; for looseness, thicker socks or an additional insole might help.

Gum sole losing traction

Clean the gum rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can reduce grip.
