FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While originally designed for handball, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It offers comfort and grip for casual wear but is not recommended for high-performance sports due to its material and design evolution.

How do I determine my size?

The shoes are listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking adidas' official size guide or trying on a pair in a local store if you are unsure of your UK shoe size.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, washing machine use is highly discouraged, especially for suede materials. It can damage the suede, alter the shoe's shape, and weaken the adhesives. Please follow the specific care instructions for suede provided in this guide.

What is the material of the upper?

This specific variant (White, UK 4) features a premium suede upper, complemented by textile lining and synthetic elements for durability and comfort.

Will the gum sole mark floors?

The gum rubber outsole is designed to be non-marking on most indoor surfaces. However, extreme friction or certain floor types could potentially leave faint marks, though this is rare.

How can I protect the white suede from stains?

The best way is to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray before the first wear. Reapply periodically as per the product instructions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty.

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture. For dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 4). Adjust the laces for a more comfortable fit. The `regular fit` should provide adequate room, but consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any embedded debris.

White color gets dirty easily.

Regularly clean with a suede brush after each wear to prevent dirt buildup. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or cleaner. Apply a protective spray to create a barrier against stains.

Gum outsole seems to lack grip on certain surfaces.

While the gum outsole provides good general grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can still be slippery. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If the grip has significantly degraded, it might indicate wear, though this is unlikely for a new pair.
