FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for intense gym training?

While originally a handball shoe, this model is now better suited for casual lifestyle use rather than high-intensity athletic training.

How do I determine my size?

The Handball Spezial features a regular fit; it is recommended to purchase your standard UK shoe size.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and affect the shoe's structural integrity.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium suede with leather accents and a gum rubber outsole.

Are these shoes waterproof?

They are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent staining the suede.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff away dirt in one direction.

Scuff marks on the gum sole

Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.

Water spots on suede

Let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these care steps:

  1. Pre-treatment: Apply a suede-specific protective spray before wearing them outdoors for the first time.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and dirt gently.
  3. Stain Removal: Use a suede eraser for localized spots; avoid using water or standard soaps directly on the material.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up system, allowing for adjustable tension to fit various foot shapes comfortably.
