FAQs

Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, their current iteration is primarily intended for casual lifestyle wear. They may not offer the specific support and performance features required for competitive handball play.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and restore the texture. For persistent stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
