FAQs
Are the Adidas Handball Spezial trainers good for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, their current iteration is primarily recommended for casual wear and lifestyle. For competitive handball, specialized athletic footwear might offer superior performance and support.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide specifically covers UK size 9.5 for men.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain their appearance.
What is the difference between leather and suede Handball Spezial models?
Leather models offer a smoother, more premium look and feel, often easier to clean. Suede models provide a softer texture and a more casual aesthetic, but may require more specific care to avoid stains.
How should I clean the white 3-Stripes?
Use a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the 3-Stripes and follow up with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Ensure they are dried properly afterward.
What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?
This refers to the method of attaching the sole to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures. It contributes to the shoe's structure and durability but may result in less flexibility compared to other construction methods.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways, though this guide focuses on the Green and White variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. You can also try wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Gum sole scuff marks
Minor scuff marks on the gum rubber outsole can often be removed with a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Leather creases unevenly
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure the shoes are laced properly to distribute pressure. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape and minimize excessive creasing when not in use.
Discoloration of the green leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners and store away from light when not in use.
