The Handball Spezial generally offers a `regular fit`. We recommend choosing your standard shoe size. If you are unsure, trying them on or consulting a size chart is advisable.
While the gum rubber outsole offers good traction, the suede upper is sensitive to water and can stain or become damaged in wet conditions. It is highly recommended to treat them with a suede protector spray and avoid heavy rain.
Regular, light cleaning with a suede brush after each few wears can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done as needed for stains or significant dirt accumulation.
The upper is primarily made of premium suede, complemented by leather and textile overlays, and a textile lining for comfort.
While originally designed as a handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. Its flat sole provides good grip for casual wear but is not engineered for high-impact or performance sports by today's standards.
A gum rubber outsole is made from natural rubber, known for its excellent grip and distinctive translucent, light brown appearance. It's a classic feature that enhances both performance and the retro aesthetic of the shoe.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and remove light dirt. Always brush in one direction.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. The `regular fit` should accommodate most foot types. Adjust the laces for a more customized fit. If persistent, consider sizing up or down.
For fresh stains, blot immediately. For dried stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the grooves are clear.
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed for immediate wear. Simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. These sneakers are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire, from denim to tracksuits.
