FAQs
What materials are the adidas Handball Spezial Grey shoes made from?
These shoes feature a soft grey suede upper, white leather detailing on the stripes and heel, and a durable gum rubber sole.
Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?
While originally designed as an indoor sports shoe, the Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It's best suited for casual wear and light activities, not high-performance sports.
How do I clean my suede Handball Spezials?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for stains. For white leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth. Always apply a protector spray before wear.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the material from water damage and staining. A protector spray can offer some resistance, but it's not waterproof.
How do adidas Handball Spezials typically fit?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary, so if unsure, consider referring to adidas's official size guide.
What does the Trefoil logo represent?
The Trefoil logo is adidas Originals' iconic symbol, representing the brand's heritage and classic designs, often used on their lifestyle and vintage-inspired collections.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede and leather shoes as it can damage the materials, alter the shape, and cause colors to fade or bleed. Always follow manual cleaning instructions.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps restore its original texture and appearance.
Water spots or light stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth (water only) to gently dab and lift the stain. Do not rub vigorously.
Dirt buildup on the rubber sole
Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. An old toothbrush can be effective for cleaning the textured areas and edges.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Like many leather and suede shoes, the Handball Spezial may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
General odor from prolonged wear
Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors. Info needed: Not all insoles are removable.

Product Care
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your suede and leather Handball Spezials.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and leather protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede):
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth (water only) to gently dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
- Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Regular Cleaning (Leather):
- Wipe leather detailing with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following product instructions.
- Sole Care: Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain grip and appearance. Use an old toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on suede.
