FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede can become damaged or discoloured when saturated with water.

How do I keep the suede soft?

Regularly use a suede brush to fluff the nap of the material, which helps keep it soft and free of dirt.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While they originated as handball shoes, they are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for casual daily use.

What is the best way to clean the laces?

Remove the laces and soak them in warm, soapy water, then scrub gently and air dry before re-lacing.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the suede

Use a soft suede eraser to gently rub the affected area until the mark lifts.

Dirty gum sole edges

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated sneaker cleaner to wipe down the rubber sole edges.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer or place them on a radiator as heat can stiffen the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their shape and colour, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to help guard against stains and light moisture.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser. Do not machine wash, as water and heavy detergent can ruin the suede texture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the trainer over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. They pair exceptionally well with denim, wide-leg trousers, or casual skirts, serving as a versatile staple in a neutral-toned wardrobe.
