FAQs

What is nubuck suede?

Nubuck is a type of leather that has been buffed or sanded on the outer surface to create a short, velvety nap. It's generally more durable than traditional suede (which comes from the inner side of the hide) and has a fine grain.

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?

While the Handball Spezial originally started as a performance shoe for handball, this version is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. It's not engineered for the demands of modern athletic performance.

How do I protect the blue color from fading?

Minimizing prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can help. Regular cleaning and application of a suitable suede protector spray designed for colored suede can also help maintain the vibrancy of the blue.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is best to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain and damage suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then restore the nap with a suede brush.

What is an OrthoLite® sockliner?

OrthoLite® sockliners are made from open-cell foam, providing superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management. They are designed for long-term comfort and contribute to the overall soft feel of the shoe.

Are adidas Handball Spezial shoes true to size?

Adidas shoes typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. For the most accurate sizing, it is recommended to consult the official adidas size guide or try them on.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift dirt and restore the texture. For tougher dirt, use a suede eraser.

Shoes are developing a stain.

For fresh, minor stains, gently blot with a clean, dry cloth. For dried or more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The gum rubber outsole looks discolored or dirty.

Clean the outsole with a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid getting the suede wet. Wipe away any soap residue and let it air dry.

Care Instructions: Nubuck Suede

Proper care will help maintain the premium look and longevity of your Handball Spezial shoes:

  1. Water Protection: Suede can be sensitive to water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Brushing: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap (texture) of the suede. Brush in one direction.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a suede eraser or a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use conventional shoe polish or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the suede.
  5. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  6. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them maintain their shape.
