FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Adidas Handball Spezial shoes generally run true to size for most users. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the rubber outsole offers traction, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain can damage the suede. It's advisable to apply a suede protector spray if you anticipate light moisture, but for heavy rain, choose waterproof footwear.

How do I keep the pink color vibrant?

To maintain the vibrant color, store the shoes away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Regular cleaning with a suede brush and appropriate suede cleaner will also help keep them looking fresh.

Are these suitable for sports or running?

The Adidas Handball Spezial is inspired by athletic heritage but is designed primarily for casual and lifestyle wear. While comfortable for light activities and walking, they are not intended for high-performance sports or running, which require specialized athletic footwear.

What's the best way to clean the leather 3-stripes and rubber outsole?

For the leather 3-stripes, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber outsole, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure no cleaning solution gets onto the suede.

Do I need to break in these shoes?

While the leather lining and suede upper are designed for comfort, a short break-in period may be beneficial for some users. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture and vibrancy.

Shoes feel a bit tight initially.

Wear them for short periods at first. The leather lining and suede upper will gradually conform to your foot shape over time, improving comfort. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Stains on suede.

For light stains, try a suede eraser. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Act quickly on spills to prevent them from setting.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check if the insoles are properly seated. If they shift, they might rub against the shoe's interior causing a squeak. Try removing and reinserting them, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath them.

Care

  • Suede Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For spots or scuffs, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, then brush again once dry to restore the nap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using water directly on suede without proper protection.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
