FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

The adidas Handball Spezial are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not optimized for high-impact running due to a lack of specialized cushioning and support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel does not slip excessively. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Hand washing with appropriate cleaners for suede and synthetic materials is the preferred method.

What is the main color of the 'Bliss Trace Grey Noble Maroon' model?

The main color of the 'Bliss Trace Grey Noble Maroon' model is cream, with trace grey and noble maroon accents.

How do I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry.

What year were the Handball Spezial originally released?

The original adidas Handball Spezial was released in 1979.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thin socks for a short period. If the issue persists, consider wearing them for short durations initially to allow for a natural break-in. If the fit is significantly off, check if the correct size was purchased.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide for appropriate methods and products.

Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces

The gum rubber sole provides grip on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or polished floors, as with most casual footwear.
