FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though some users prefer a half-size up for a wider fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural adhesives of the shoe.

What is the purpose of the gum sole?

The gum sole provides excellent durability and grip, consistent with the shoe's history as an indoor court trainer.

Does the suede require protection?

It is recommended to use a high-quality suede protector spray before first use to help repel moisture and dirt.

Are these suitable for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are now categorized primarily as lifestyle trainers suitable for casual athletic activity.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dusty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a consistent direction.

Laces are fraying or dirty

Replace them with the included extra set of laces or wash the current ones in a mesh bag on a cold cycle.

Stains on the suede upper

Use a specialized suede cleaning solution applied to a cloth, dabbing lightly rather than rubbing aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for light scuffs. To clean, gently dab with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, but never submerge the shoes in water. For compatibility, the classic white and red aesthetic pairs well with both casual denim and athletic loungewear, serving as a versatile staple in an adult's footwear rotation.
