FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?

While based on a handball court shoe, the current Spezial model is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing, but the suede upper will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and adhesive. Stick to dry, manual cleaning methods.

What is the Torsion system?

It is a piece of lightweight material in the sole that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing stability.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Adidas Handball Spezial is marketed as a unisex style, offering a versatile fit for all genders.

How do I best clean the midsole?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the rubber midsole, taking care to avoid getting the suede upper wet.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap in a consistent direction.

Water spots on the suede

Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources, then gently buff with a suede brush once completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to protect the surface.
  2. Routine Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust and dirt after each wear to prevent matting.
  3. Stain Removal: Use a suede eraser for localized dry stains. Avoid using excessive water as it can damage the natural fibers.
  4. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  5. Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the suede upper will naturally contour to your foot shape over time.
