FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adult foot shapes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash suede or leather trainers as it can cause permanent damage to the materials.
Are these suitable for professional sports?
While originally designed for handball, this retro version is best suited for lifestyle and fashion use.
What is the difference between the suede and leather versions?
The leather version is generally easier to wipe clean, while the suede version offers a softer, more textured look that requires more delicate care.
Do the laces come in different lengths?
The included laces are standardized for the shoe size; if you need a different length or style, standard flat sneaker laces are fully compatible.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the dirt without ruining the texture.
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for leather footwear. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape.
Gum sole losing traction due to dust
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove surface dust and restore original grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Spezial trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede or leather before your first wear.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from suede surfaces. For leather variants, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
- Insoles: If you require extra arch support, the factory insoles are generally removable and can be swapped for orthotic inserts.
