FAQs
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by the Handball Spezial silhouette, these trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic performance in handball or other sports. They lack the specialized support and grip required for such activities.
How do I clean the Harris Tweed material?
For the Harris Tweed portions, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, spot clean gently with a slightly damp cloth or a specialized wool cleaner. Avoid soaking the material.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These trainers are made of leather and tweed, which are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the materials.
What is the main difference between this and a standard Handball Spezial?
The primary difference is the incorporation of the distinctive Harris Tweed fabric in the design, offering a unique texture and aesthetic compared to standard leather or suede Handball Spezial models.
Do these come in other colors?
This specific product is the 'Handball Spezial Harris Tweed' in a grey colorway. While other Handball Spezial models exist in various colors, this particular collaboration may be limited to specific color options.
What is the sizing like?
The sizing is consistent with standard adidas adult footwear. It is recommended to consult the provided size guide for the most accurate UK sizing measurement.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the noise originates from there.
Discoloration on Harris Tweed panels
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. If discolored, attempt gentle spot cleaning with a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for wool or tweed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and reduce deep creases.
