FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, this particular variant is marketed for casual wear. For serious handball play, modern athletic shoes with enhanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the cream white suede?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water excessively, as it can stain suede.
What is the primary material of these shoes?
The primary material for the upper of this variant is suede.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they are susceptible to water damage and staining. Using a suede protectant spray can offer some protection.
What kind of socks are best with these shoes?
Thin to medium-thickness socks, including athletic or casual socks, work well. The choice depends on personal comfort and the intended activity.
How do these shoes fit?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, offering a comfortable fit for most. It's advisable to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the difference between this and other Handball Spezial models?
Variations typically include different colorways, materials (like leather accents), and minor design tweaks. This specific model features a cream white and blue suede construction.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The suede upper will gradually conform to the shape of your foot for a more comfortable fit.
Outsole grip feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
