FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial follows standard UK sizing and generally offers a regular fit; most users find their usual size to be accurate.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and cause the glue to weaken. Stick to spot cleaning or dry brushing.

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are lifestyle shoes inspired by vintage court sports and lack the technical support and cushioning required for running.

What is the benefit of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole provides superior grip on indoor and flat surfaces while contributing to the authentic retro aesthetic.

How do I remove mud from the suede?

Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush. Do not attempt to wipe wet mud, as it will stain the suede deeper.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or flat after prolonged use

Use a soft-bristle brush to gently rub the suede in one direction, which helps lift the fibers and restore the texture.

Foot feels slightly loose during walking

Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the bottom eyelets upward to achieve a secure lockdown across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the material. Avoid washing in a machine.
  2. Cleaning: For stains, use a dry suede eraser rather than liquid cleaners which can damage the finish.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede color over time.
  4. Weather Prep: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before initial wear to protect against light moisture.
