FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from premium suede.

What type of outsole does this shoe have?

It features a durable, curvilinear gum outsole.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water, as it can damage the suede.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and offer good grip, but they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities requiring specialized support.

What is the fit like?

The Handball Spezial typically offers a comfortable, standard fit. It's recommended to refer to adidas sizing guides for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Using a protector spray can offer some resistance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Gum sole appears worn

While designed for durability, excessive wear may occur with heavy use. Regular cleaning of the sole can help maintain its appearance.

Shoes feel a bit stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. They will mold to your feet over time.
