FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find a slightly snug fit due to the narrow retro profile.
Can I use these for playing handball?
While these were originally designed as handball shoes, modern indoor sports footwear offers superior grip and impact protection. These are best reserved for casual lifestyle wear.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Avoid getting suede wet if possible.
Are these sneakers unisex?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial is considered a unisex trainer, and the sizing is based on standard UK measurements regardless of gender.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Keep them in a cool, ventilated area away from moisture and direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees after wearing to help the shoe retain its shape.
Dirty white laces or soles
Remove laces and hand wash them in warm soapy water. Use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle cleanser to clean the rubber sole edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips. Since these shoes feature specific leather and textile finishes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the structure and adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather or suede cleaner compatible with the specific upper material. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking. To maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use, consider inserting a shoe tree or stuffed paper.
