FAQs
Are the Adidas Handball Spezial suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It may offer some basic support for light play, but is not intended for competitive handball.
How do I clean the suede material?
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, try a suede eraser. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede's texture and color.
What is the primary benefit of the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole provides durable traction and grip, ensuring stability on various surfaces during everyday wear.
What does 'classic last' mean?
A 'classic last' refers to the traditional mold used to shape the shoe, typically offering a familiar and comfortable fit for most users.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining or discoloration.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Most casual socks will work well. Consider the material and thickness based on your comfort and the weather.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Lace the shoes snugly but not too tight. Ensure there is comfortable room in the toe box and no excessive heel slippage. Try them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure your feet are properly positioned. If tightness persists after break-in, consider using shoe stretchers or seeking advice from a shoe professional.
Rubber outsole losing grip
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
