FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While the Handball Spezial shoes offer good grip and durability for light skateboarding, they are primarily designed for casual wear and are not intended as professional-grade skateboarding shoes.
How do I ensure the blue suede stays vibrant?
Protect the suede with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Clean regularly with a suede brush to remove dust and prevent matting. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, the Adidas Italy Handball Spezial shoes are designed to fit true to size according to standard adult foot measurements.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in the rain. The material is susceptible to water damage, which can cause staining and affect the texture. If they do get wet, dry them thoroughly as per the care instructions.
What is the T-toe construction?
The T-toe construction is a design feature where an additional layer of suede or material forms a 'T' shape over the toe box. This reinforcement enhances durability in an area that experiences high abrasion during activities like skateboarding.
What are the primary materials used in these shoes?
The primary materials are suede for the upper and rubber for the outsole. The midsole is typically made of EVA or a similar cushioning material.
How often should I clean my suede shoes?
Regularly brush your suede shoes after each wear to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, address stains as they occur or perform a more thorough cleaning every few months, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede discoloration or staining
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. For minor scuffs, a pencil eraser can sometimes work. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces wear out or break
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Many sports retailers offer replacement laces.
Sole becoming slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. For worn-down treads, grip may be reduced, and replacement may be necessary.
General discomfort or fit issues
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a better fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult foot sizes, fitting true to size. Suitable for men.
Care:
- Cleaning the Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: Wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be applied with a brush, followed by wiping clean.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the suede. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially in adverse weather conditions.
