FAQs
How do I clean my suede Handball Spezials?
To clean suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaning spray or foam as per product instructions, then brush the nap back into place. Always let them air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?
While the Handball Spezial has origins in indoor sports, it is now primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. Its construction and materials are robust for everyday wear, but it is not intended for high-performance athletic activities like competitive handball.
What is the fit like for these sneakers?
The Handball Spezial is known for its comfortable fit. Many users find them to be true to size. The comfortable construction makes them ideal for prolonged wear throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be easily damaged, stained, and its texture altered by water. Applying a water and stain repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
Are these shoes only for women?
While this specific variant is listed with a 'Female' gender attribute for categorization, the Adidas Handball Spezial is widely considered a unisex style and is popular among all genders. Many variations are worn by both men and women.
How durable are the Handball Spezials?
The Handball Spezial features robust construction designed for durability. With proper care, especially for the suede material, these sneakers are built to withstand everyday use and provide long-lasting wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, apply a specialized suede cleaning solution following the product's instructions, then brush the nap back into shape.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes might require a short break-in period. Consider wearing them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
Check the outsole tread for excessive wear. If the treads are worn, the grip will be reduced. Ensure the sole is clean from any debris or oil that might be causing the slippage.
Suede is stained by liquid.
Act quickly. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Do not rub. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner for residual marks.

- Suede Cleaner: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning solution. Apply according to the product instructions, usually with a clean cloth or brush, then allow to air dry completely.
- Water Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions as suede can be easily damaged.
- Avoid Direct Heat: Never dry suede shoes with direct heat, as this can damage the material. Air dry them away from sunlight or heat sources.
