FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing will damage the suede material and may affect the durability of the rubber cupsole.

Is the Handball Spezial true to size?

Yes, they feature a regular fit consistent with most standard Adidas footwear sizing for kids.

Can these be worn for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers suitable for light activity and daily wear.

How do I remove water stains?

Dab the area with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, then use a suede brush to restore the texture.

Is the suede durable enough for playground use?

The suede is durable, but constant friction against rough playground surfaces may cause premature wear compared to leather or synthetic materials.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flattened or dull after heavy wear

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the fabric back to its original texture.

Dirt or mud spots on the upper

Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off; use a suede eraser for remaining stubborn marks.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure a double-knot is used or replace the laces with a slightly more textured material if slipping persists.

  • Reliable rubber grip suitable for different environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of suede, you should treat the shoes with a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first use. If they become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the glue and warp the suede. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or cleaning kit. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey color from fading over time.
