FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but since they have a low-profile silhouette, some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and leather materials. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to guard against light rain, but avoid wearing them in heavy downpours.
What is the primary material used?
The series features a combination of premium suede and leather to provide both durability and comfort.
Are these suitable for sports?
While originally designed as an indoor handball shoe, modern versions like this are intended for lifestyle and casual use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry microfiber cloth to lift the nap and dislodge dry dust.
Sole losing grip
Wipe the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove buildup of dust or debris that might cause slipping.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather and suede retain their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede panels after every few wears.
- Stain Treatment: For stubborn spots on the suede, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaning block. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the olive pigment.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the olive and brown tones to fade over time.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to provide a layer of protection against light moisture and debris.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct size (e.g., UK 12.5) to maintain the integrity of the shoe's heel structure and internal cushioning.
