FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the adhesive on the outsole. Always spot clean by hand.

Are these trainers true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider a slightly looser lacing configuration.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they feature a rubber outsole originally designed for handball, they are primarily lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support needed for modern high-intensity athletic activities.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

It is recommended to apply a professional-grade suede protector spray designed for footwear before the first use.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust on the suede surface

Use a specialized soft suede brush to gently lift fibers and remove loose debris.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Re-lace the shoes using a double knot or ensure the eyelets are fully clear of debris.

Minor water spots appearing

Let the shoes dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a suede brush to buff the area.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable rubber outsole provides consistent grip
  • Lightweight construction for extended wear

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining and water damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these trainers arrive ready-to-wear, no mechanical setup is required beyond adjusting the lacing to your preferred tension. Regarding compatibility, the unisex sizing makes them a flexible choice for various foot shapes, though it is recommended to ensure your size is verified according to the UK 11.5 standard. To care for your suede shoes, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. If a stain occurs, use a dedicated suede cleaning block or solution specifically formulated for delicate materials to maintain the nap of the fabric.
