FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports activities?
While inspired by handball shoes, the adidas Handball Spezial ST are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style. For performance sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and protector are recommended. Avoid water as much as possible, and never machine wash, as this can damage the suede.
Are these shoes true to size?
adidas shoes generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or consulting an adidas size guide for the most accurate fit. This specific model is UK 3 (Female).
Can I wear them in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water and can easily stain or get damaged. It is highly recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in rainy or wet conditions. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is the lining material used in these shoes?
The adidas Handball Spezial ST shoes feature a comfortable textile lining to enhance wearability.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing excellent grip and traction.
Is there a difference between 'Handball Spezial' and 'Handball Spezial ST'?
The 'ST' often signifies subtle stylistic or material variations within the broader Spezial series, such as the specific suede used or minor design adjustments, while retaining the iconic silhouette and feel of the original.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for best results.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. For persistent discomfort, confirm you have the correct size. Info needed: adidas sizing guide link
Shoes are squeaking during wear.
Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe; try removing, dusting, and reinserting it. If the sole is the source, minor squeaks often resolve with continued wear.
Shoes accidentally got wet and stained.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely and naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift any matted areas and a suede eraser or cleaner for water marks, if necessary. Consider applying a protector spray for future prevention.

Care Instructions
The suede material of your Handball Spezial ST shoes requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.
- Cleaning:
- *Light Dirt*: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently brush off dry dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- *Stains*: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- *Avoid Water*: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Do NOT: Machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the suede and overall construction.
