FAQs

Are Adidas Handball Spezial sneakers true to size?

Generally, Adidas Handball Spezial sneakers are reported to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.

Can I wear these shoes for actual sports like handball?

While inspired by handball, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They do not offer the specialized support and durability required for rigorous athletic activities.

How do I protect the pink suede from getting dirty?

We highly recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and re-applying periodically. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Regular gentle brushing also helps keep them clean.

What material are the 3-Stripes made of?

The iconic 3-Stripes on this model are made from sleek leather overlays, which contrast beautifully with the suede upper.

Is the rubber outsole non-slip?

The rubber outsole provides good everyday traction on dry surfaces. > Info needed: [specific information on wet surface grip or non-slip rating].

How should I clean the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole can be cleaned with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and grime.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and texture.

Water spots or light stains on suede.

Allow the shoes to dry completely. For water spots, gently rub with a clean pencil eraser or a dry suede brush. For light stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution according to its instructions.

Shoes feel stiff initially.

These shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are tying a double knot or experimenting with different lacing techniques for a more secure fit.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial, especially for the suede material, to maintain the look and longevity of your shoes:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush (preferably a suede brush) to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the suede.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Apply to a clean cloth first, then dab the affected area.
  3. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede and leather.
  6. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
