FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball or other sports?

While originally designed for handball in the 70s, the modern Handball Spezial is optimized for casual wear and streetwear. It does not offer the advanced support or cushioning required for high-performance sports today.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following its instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet and allow it to air dry.

What is the fit like?

The Handball Spezial generally has a regular fit. The lace closure allows for adjustable comfort. Most users find it to be true to size.

What materials are used in these shoes?

The upper is crafted from premium suede and textile material, with a textile lining and a durable rubber outsole.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. It's advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. A protective suede spray can offer some resistance.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial line often features a variety of colorways. Check authorized retailers for other available options.

How durable is the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and excellent grip, making it a robust choice for everyday urban wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as per product instructions, then brush once dry.

Shoes feel tight initially

The suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Rubber sole is slippery

Ensure the outsole is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce grip. If the sole appears worn smooth over time, the grip may naturally diminish due to normal wear and tear.

Laces constantly come undone

Try using a double knot or experimenting with different lacing techniques to secure them more effectively.

Setup: Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust the lace closure for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent tripping. Compatibility: These shoes are designed to complement casual wear, streetwear, and smart-casual outfits. They pair well with denim, chinos, track pants, and shorts, offering a versatile aesthetic that bridges athletic heritage with contemporary fashion. Care: - Suede Upper: To clean, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, applying it sparingly and following product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can stain or damage the suede. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.- Rubber Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can help remove dirt from the grooves.- General: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid machine washing or drying.
