FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While rooted in handball history, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed primarily as a fashion trainer for casual wear and style, not for performance in sports or intense athletic activities.

How do I determine the correct size?

These shoes feature a regular fit. It is generally recommended to select your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both your regular size and a half-size up for the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Due to the suede material, it is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede and cause staining. Using a water-repellent suede protector can offer some defense against light moisture.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole of the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is made from durable rubber, providing reliable traction and classic style.

What is the lining material inside the shoe?

The interior of the shoe features a comfortable synthetic lining.

How often should I clean the suede?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For optimal appearance, a light brushing with a suede brush after every few wears can help maintain the nap. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed for stains or significant dirt.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush with short, firm bristles. Gently brush the suede in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture and vibrancy. For more stubborn areas, brush against the nap first, then with it.

There's a noticeable stain on the suede.

For fresh, light stains, use a suede eraser by gently rubbing it over the stain. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then let dry and use a suede brush. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, following product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel a bit stiff during initial wear.

As with many new shoes, especially those with a leather upper, a short break-in period may be needed. Wear them for shorter periods initially, gradually increasing wear time until they comfortably mold to your feet.

Setting up your Handball Spezial shoes is as simple as lacing them up and stepping out. They feature a regular fit, so generally, you can stick to your usual shoe size. These trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual wear, from jeans and t-shirts to skirts and light jackets, making them a versatile wardrobe staple. Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity: 1. Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture. 2. Cleaning: For dirt and dust, use a dedicated suede brush. Gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. 3. Moisture: Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. 4. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
