Adidas Handball Spezial - Silver - Suede - UK 5

The upper of these sneakers is primarily made from high-quality suede, complemented by leather details and a rubber gum sole.

While the Handball Spezial originated as an indoor sports shoe in the 70s, this modern iteration is designed as a lifestyle classic. It's best suited for casual, everyday wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.

Regularly brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Always apply a suede protector spray before wearing to help repel water and stains.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water. If they do get wet, follow the careful drying instructions outlined in the 'Care' section. A suede protector spray can offer some minor water resistance.

With their lighter 'Wonder Silver Off White' colourway and suede construction, these sneakers are ideally suited for spring and summer, especially in dry weather.

These shoes are listed as UK size 5. Adidas sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. It's usually best to choose your standard Adidas UK size.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and appearance.

Lightly dampen the entire affected area with a very slightly damp, clean cloth (avoid soaking). Then, gently brush the suede with a suede brush while it's drying. For stubborn stains, consider using a professional suede cleaning kit or taking them to a shoe care specialist.

Adjust the lacing system. Loosen or tighten the laces to achieve your preferred fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. As these are UK size 5, if the size feels consistently off, check against your usual shoe size.

Clean the rubber gum sole with a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated sneaker sole cleaner. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a clean cloth to scrub gently, then wipe clean.
