FAQs

What does 'Made In Germany' signify for these shoes?

It signifies that these specific Adidas Handball Spezial sneakers have been manufactured with meticulous attention to detail and quality standards in Germany, highlighting precise craftsmanship.

Are these suitable for actual handball playing?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are designed primarily for lifestyle and streetwear. For professional handball, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I break in the leather and suede?

These shoes are designed for comfort out of the box. However, wearing them for short periods initially can help them mold to your feet. Avoid extreme flexing.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is generally not recommended to wear natural leather and suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions as it can damage the materials and cause discoloration. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

What is the best way to clean the blue suede?

Do they come in other colors?

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn dirt, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.

Leather creases excessively

This is a natural characteristic of leather. Ensure proper fit, and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Soles show wear

Regular wear will cause some sole wear. For significant wear, consult a professional shoe repair service about potential sole replacement or repair.

Color transfer from suede/leather

Ensure the shoes are treated with appropriate protectors. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until you are confident about colorfastness, especially in damp conditions.
