FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the suede upper is not water-resistant. It is highly recommended to use a protective spray before wearing them in varied weather conditions.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, but as they are made of suede, they may soften and loosen slightly after the break-in period.

Can I use these for intense sports?

While based on a court shoe, they are optimized for lifestyle and casual wear. They lack the technical stability and support features required for high-intensity athletics.

How do I remove mud from the suede?

Let the mud dry completely first, then gently brush it off with a dry brush. Do not attempt to wipe wet mud, as it may stain the fabric.

Are they suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively slim. If you have wide feet, you may find the fit snug, but the suede material does offer some natural stretch over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Visible water stains

Use a professional suede cleaner or a white eraser for minor surface spots.

Outsole loses grip

Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Protective Treatment: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the texture. Avoid excessive water.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown colour.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, denim, or chinos, fitting well into a smart-casual or streetwear-focused aesthetic.
  5. Maintenance: If the suede becomes damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, as these can stiffen the material.
