FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While based on a handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. Do not machine wash or submerge suede shoes in water.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to standard UK sizes. If in doubt, measure the foot using a standard sizing guide.
What is the benefit of the gum sole?
The gum rubber sole provides superior traction and durability compared to standard foam outsoles, staying true to the vintage indoor court heritage.
Can these be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede absorbs moisture and can be easily damaged or stained by water and mud.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the design is unisex, making it appropriate for all children.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the fibers in one direction.
Visible scuffs on the upper
Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff the scuff marks away.
Dirt on the white accents
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the white synthetic or leather areas, taking care to avoid getting the suede wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt or debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can ruin the suede texture.
