FAQs

Are the adidas Handball Spezial trainers suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, they are now primarily considered a lifestyle shoe. They offer good grip and support for casual activities but may not meet the specific demands of professional handball play regarding ankle support and cushioning.

How do I best clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly with a damp cloth is recommended. Always allow to air dry.

What does 'Preloved Green' refer to?

'Preloved Green' is the specific color name given by adidas to this shade of green, evoking a slightly vintage or worn-in aesthetic.

Is this shoe true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial fits true to size for most people. However, sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It's recommended to check user reviews or consult an adidas sizing guide if unsure.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best worn in dry weather.

What is the difference between this and other Handball Spezial models?

The primary differences usually lie in the colorway, materials used (e.g., different types of suede, leather accents), and minor branding details. The core silhouette and purpose remain consistent.

How do I maintain the cream white accents?

The cream white stripes and heel collar can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that might discolor the material.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a damp cloth, then brush the suede once dry.

Shoe shape is losing its form.

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.

Color seems faded.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Suede color enhancers or dyes can sometimes be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the gum rubber sole is clean. If the issue persists on very smooth surfaces, consider the natural grip limitations of this material.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt from the suede. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid washing machines or excessive water.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against stains and water damage. Reapply periodically.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  • Maintenance: Brush the suede regularly in one direction to keep the nap looking fresh.
