FAQs

What is the best way to clean my adidas Handball Spezials?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always apply a protector spray before first wear to help prevent stains.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While originating from handball, these shoes are now primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. They offer comfort and traction for everyday activities but are not recommended for high-performance sports due to their material and design.

How do adidas Handball Spezial sizes run?

These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It's generally recommended to refer to adidas' official size chart for the most accurate fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure optimal comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by water. It is highly recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance but won't make them waterproof.

What is the 'T-shaped toe cap'?

The T-shaped toe cap is a classic design feature seen on many adidas heritage models. It provides a distinct retro aesthetic and offers additional durability and protection for the toe area of the shoe.

What does 'low-profile design' mean?

A 'low-profile design' refers to the shoe's sleek, close-to-the-ground silhouette. This contributes to a natural feel, lightweight appearance, and enhances versatility for various fashion styles.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn spots, try a suede eraser.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods at first, or use shoe stretchers. Ensure you selected the correct size based on adidas sizing guides.

Stains on the suede

For light stains, use a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then allow to air dry. If persistent, use a suede cleaner or consult a professional cleaner. Always test products in an inconspicuous area.

Loss of traction

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Accumulated dirt can reduce grip. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. If the sole is excessively worn, consider replacement if possible or use on less demanding surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic and versatile aesthetic suitable for various outfits.
  • Comfortable for everyday wear due to standard cut and soft lining.
  • Durable construction with suede upper and rubber outsole.
  • Good stability and traction on different surfaces.
  • Distinctive design details like metallic gold branding and Spezial inscription.

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful cleaning and maintenance.
  • Not ideal for wet weather conditions without proper protection.
  • May show scuffs or marks more easily than synthetic materials.
  • Limited suitability for high-impact sports despite its athletic heritage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply unbox your adidas Handball Spezial shoes and put them on your feet. Ensure laces are tied securely for a comfortable and safe fit.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adults and are sized according to the UK sizing standard. They are a female-gendered style, although their classic design often allows for versatile appeal. They complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing, including jeans, chinos, skirts, and dresses.

Care

Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Handball Spezials:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Repeat periodically as per product instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the stain. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or solution may be required. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Deep Cleaning: For extensive dirt or stains, consider professional suede cleaning services.
