FAQs
How do I best clean the purple suede on these shoes?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
The Handball Spezial ST is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. While comfortable for everyday wear, it is not optimized for high-impact sports like running or competitive handball.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas models?
Generally, adidas sizing is consistent. We recommend consulting the adidas size chart if you are unsure, or trying them on to ensure the best fit for your UK 4 size.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain or damage the material. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper of the Handball Spezial ST is made from smooth suede, providing a premium feel and distinctive look.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Handball Spezial ST series often comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Please check product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one consistent direction to lift the fibers.
Visible dirt or light stains on the suede.
For dry dirt, use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and then allow to air dry before brushing.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the suede material to stretch and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede sneakers:
- Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede uppers with a high-quality `suede protector spray`. This helps repel water and stains.
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a `suede brush` to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher spots, use a `suede eraser` or a specialized `suede cleaner` with a soft cloth, following product instructions carefully.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water, as this can damage the suede.
