FAQs

Are adidas Handball Spezial Trainers suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are designed with a vintage aesthetic and modern comfort features, making them ideal for casual wear, light walking, and everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intensive sports.

How do I properly clean the suede parts of my trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. If using a liquid suede cleaner, apply sparingly and follow the product instructions. Always allow to air dry completely.

What is ADIPRENE+ cushioning and how does it benefit me?

ADIPRENE+ is an advanced cushioning technology used in the forefoot area of the shoe. It provides superior impact absorption, offering responsive cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue during walking and standing.

What is the Torsion System in these trainers?

The Torsion System is a lightweight arch support that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, promoting natural foot movement. This enhances stability, adaptability, and comfort, particularly on uneven surfaces.

Are these trainers true to size?

Adidas sizing is generally consistent. For the best fit, we recommend referring to the official adidas size guide or trying them on if possible, especially if you are between sizes or unsure.

Can I wear my Handball Spezial trainers in wet weather?

The suede material on these trainers is sensitive to water and moisture. While they are durable, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. You can apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede to offer some protection.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb any moisture, prolonging their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Suede material appears dull or dirty.

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the suede's nap. For deeper stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner applied sparingly can help.

Trainers feel too loose or too tight on the foot.

Adjust the lacing system. Experiment with different lacing techniques to customize the fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not uncomfortably tight.

Squeaking sound from the soles.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any debris or grime. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing again. If the issue persists, check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe.

General foot discomfort after extended wear.

While ADIPRENE+ offers cushioning, for very long periods of standing or walking, you might consider adding custom or over-the-counter insoles for additional arch support and personalized comfort.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your trainers, especially given the suede and leather components.

  • Cleaning the Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. Brush in one direction to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
  • Cleaning the Leather: For the smooth leather sections, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild leather cleaner if necessary, then buff dry with a clean cloth.
  • Outsole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its grip.
  • Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather to protect against the elements and spills.
