FAQs
Can I wash these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will destroy the velvet texture and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Handball Spezial series generally runs true to the standard UK size guide provided.
What is the best way to clean small spots off the velvet?
Use a dry, soft cloth to gently blot the spot. Avoid scrubbing, as this can cause the velvet fibers to mat or wear down.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can swap the laces for different lengths or colors to further customize your look.
Should I apply a protective spray?
Only use a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for velvet or delicate fabrics and test a small, hidden area first.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the velvet
Use a specialized soft-bristle garment or shoe brush to gently lift debris away from the nap of the fabric.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert wooden shoe trees immediately after taking them off to help the velvet recover its shape while drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a delicate velvet upper, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; if a spill occurs, lightly dab with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources. To preserve the shape, store the shoes with cedar shoe trees or acid-free paper when not in use. As these are standard fit sneakers, they are compatible with most aftermarket thin insoles if extra arch support is desired.
