FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed as streetwear. They offer good grip for casual wear but may lack the specific support and cushioning needed for competitive sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth. Always allow suede to air dry naturally and avoid soaking.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways inspired by the adidas archive. Please check product listings for available options.
What is the fit like?
These shoes feature a regular fit. It is recommended to choose your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider your sock preference and the material's slight give.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?
Cold Cement construction refers to the method used to attach the outsole to the upper, ensuring a durable bond without the need for high heat, which is beneficial for delicate materials like suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to help stretch the suede slightly. Ensure you have the correct size; suede can offer some give but will not significantly expand.
Color transfer onto socks
This can occasionally happen with dyed suede, especially when new and wet. Ensure the shoes are dry before wear. A suede sealant might help reduce color bleeding.
Outsole seems slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. If the slipperiness persists after cleaning, the material may be worn, or it may be more noticeable on exceptionally smooth, wet surfaces.
