FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and street style. While durable, it is not built for the demands of running or intense athletic activities.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to the shoes before their first wear and reapplying periodically. This will help repel water and resist staining.
Can I machine wash my Handball Spezial sneakers?
No, machine washing is strongly advised against for suede shoes. It can damage the material, alter the shoe's shape, and compromise the adhesives. Always hand clean suede.
What is the fit like for the Handball Spezial?
The Handball Spezial generally offers a standard adidas fit, which means it tends to be true to size. However, individual fit can vary, so consider your usual sneaker size.
Is the rubber outsole non-marking?
Info needed: [Specific information on the non-marking properties of this particular rubber outsole is not available in the provided product data. Generally, light-coloured outsoles are often designed to be non-marking, but this cannot be confirmed without specific product details.]
How do I remove scuffs from the suede?
For light scuffs, gently rub with a suede eraser or a clean, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized suede cleaner and brush may be necessary, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
What is the expected lifespan of these sneakers?
With proper care and regular wear, the adidas Handball Spezial can last for several years. Longevity depends on usage frequency, care, and individual wear patterns.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The suede material may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are using a secure lacing technique, such as a double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with a slightly thicker or textured alternative for better grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the look and longevity of your suede sneakers.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
- Water Protection: Suede is not waterproof. Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede sneakers, as this can damage the material and adhesives.
