adidas Handball Spezial - Grey - Striped - UK 5

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

While originally a handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is designed for casual, everyday wear and style. It is not recommended for sports, running, or intense physical activity as it lacks modern athletic support features.

It is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time and to reapply periodically. This helps repel water and stains, keeping your sneakers looking fresh.

For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a very slightly damp cloth (test first). Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Yes, for general casual wear and walking, the Handball Spezial offers good comfort due to its lightweight suede and classic rubber sole construction. However, comfort can be subjective and depends on individual foot shape.

The signature gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and provides good longevity with normal casual use. Regular cleaning can also help maintain its condition.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher dirt, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp clean cloth.

If the shoe gets wet, dab excess water immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally, stuffed with paper to retain shape. Once dry, gently brush the suede.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. The suede may soften slightly with wear, so allow for a break-in period during short wears.

Clean the gum rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the tread pattern is not excessively worn.
