FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, their current iteration is primarily a lifestyle shoe. For serious athletic performance, modern specialized footwear is recommended.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush for general dirt. For stains, opt for a suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth, ensuring not to soak the material. Always allow to air dry.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the adidas Handball Spezial runs true to size for most people. However, it's always best to consult size charts and customer reviews for specific fit feedback.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for wet conditions. While the gum rubber outsole offers grip, it's best to protect the suede from excessive moisture to prevent damage and staining.
What is the main difference between this model and other Handball Spezial variations?
Variations typically differ in colorways, material combinations (e.g., full leather vs. suede/leather), and minor design details. The core silhouette and function remain consistent.
How durable is the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and grip, designed to withstand regular wear on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to oversaturate.
Gum sole is scuffed or dirty.
Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The leather and suede will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with new ones. Many athletic or casual shoe stores carry replacement laces, or you can find them online.
