FAQs
What material are the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial LT Trainers made of?
These trainers feature a primary upper made of suede, with smooth leather inserts at the collar and heel, and a rubber sole. The interior lining is textile.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball or other sports?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial LT is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear. It offers comfort but may not provide the specialized support or grip required for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a suede eraser or a lightly dampened cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid excessive water.
What is the sole height of these trainers?
The sole height is approximately 2 cm, measuring up to 3 cm at its highest point.
What does the 'LT' in Handball Spezial LT stand for?
While not explicitly stated in the product description, 'LT' often denotes 'Lightweight' or a specific variation in Adidas's product naming conventions, suggesting a potentially lighter or refined version of the original model.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and damage easily. While the rubber sole offers some protection, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve their appearance.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
They feature a classic lace-up closure for an adjustable fit. Based on their design, they are expected to have a standard fit for adult trainers. It's always recommended to consult size charts for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Laces can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water, or replaced entirely for a fresh look.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow a short break-in period, as the comfort-focused sole will adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal fit.
Scuffs on leather elements
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider a leather repair product specifically designed for footwear.
