FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Adidas Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for athletic performance like running or intense sports. Its construction and materials are optimized for comfort and style in casual settings.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It's highly recommended to treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and periodically thereafter. Always follow the product's instructions for application.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede sneakers as it can damage the material, alter its texture, and affect the shoe's structure. Always opt for spot cleaning with appropriate suede care products.
What is the best way to clean the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush or old toothbrush can be used. Wipe clean and allow to air dry.
How true to size are these sneakers?
Adidas Handball Spezial generally fit true to size. However, if you are between sizes or prefer a bit more room, consider going up half a size. It's always best to try them on if possible.
What is the 'Spezial' detail?
The 'Spezial' detail refers to the gold foil print on the lateral side of the shoe, which is a classic design element of the Handball Spezial series, distinguishing it and adding to its iconic status.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner as directed.
Sneakers feel a bit tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot. Lacing adjustments can also help create more space if needed.
Water stains on suede
Apply a suede protector spray before wearing in damp conditions. If already stained, allow to dry naturally, then use a suede brush or eraser to try and lift the stain.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are using a double knot. Over time, new laces can become softer and hold knots better.
