Handball Spezial - Blue - Size: 7.5

The upper is crafted from a combination of velvety suede and synthetic materials, while the lining is textile, and the outsole is made of thick gum rubber.

While originally designed as a handball trainer, the Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle shoe. Its flat sole provides good traction for casual wear and light indoor activities, but it is not engineered for the high-impact or specialized support required by modern competitive sports.

For cleaning suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. If necessary, use a small amount of suede cleaner formulated specifically for the material, following the product instructions carefully.

Generally, adidas Handball Spezial shoes are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the adidas size guide if you're unsure.

'Spezial' refers to the specific series of adidas shoes, often characterized by their archival designs, unique colorways, and distinct features, harking back to their original sport-specific purposes but reimagined for modern lifestyle wear.

Due to the suede upper, it's generally best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage suede. Applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction to restore its texture and remove surface dust. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser before brushing.

Clean the gum sole with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or sponge. For tougher marks, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (or similar melamine foam cleaner) can be effective, used gently.

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, allowing the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape over time. The textile lining and suede upper will become more pliable.
