FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the low-profile fit may feel snug for those with wider feet.

Can I use these for sports?

While they were originally designed for handball, they are now intended for casual, lifestyle use.

How do I clean the gold 3-Stripes?

Wipe the stripes gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to keep them shiny without damaging the finish.

Are they waterproof?

No, the materials used, including suede and nylon, are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain.

What is the primary material?

These trainers feature a combination of nylon quarters and premium suede overlays.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dry suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt.

Creasing near the toe area

This is natural for suede and nylon trainers; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable nylon construction
  • Durable suede overlays in high-wear areas
  • Timeless retro aesthetic suitable for casual outfits
  • Reliable traction from the classic gum rubber outsole

Cons

  • Lacks modern advanced cushioning technology
  • Suede requires careful cleaning to maintain texture
  • Low-profile design offers minimal arch support compared to athletic trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, avoid getting them wet, as the suede material can become discolored or stiffen if saturated. If they get dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the suede. For the nylon parts, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient. We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colours from fading over time.
