FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual handball games?
While originally designed for handball, these shoes are now primarily considered a lifestyle and streetwear model. They offer good grip and flexibility for recreational play but may lack the advanced support and technology required for competitive, modern handball.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a lightly dampened cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources.
What is the best way to maintain the white and blue colorway?
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean any scuffs or marks promptly with appropriate cleaning methods for suede and rubber.
Can I wear these shoes with athletic socks?
Yes, these shoes are compatible with various types of socks, including athletic socks, for comfort during wear.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for adidas footwear. Many users find they fit true to size, but consider the width of your foot if you have wider feet.
Are there other color options available for this model?
The adidas Handball Spezial model comes in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas sneakers?
The Handball Spezial is distinguished by its vintage handball-inspired design, often featuring a suede upper and a distinctive low-profile silhouette, setting it apart from more modern or running-focused adidas designs.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thick socks around the house for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. Avoid overstretching.
Soles collecting dirt
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For ingrained dirt, a small amount of mild soap on a cloth can be effective.
Discoloration from moisture
If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat. Avoid direct sunlight.
