FAQs

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper of the adidas Handball Spezial 'Off White Black Gum' trainers is leather.

Are these trainers suitable for professional sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities, not professional-level sports performance.

How should I clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Wipe away dirt and debris to maintain its appearance and traction.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways, though this specific model is the 'Off White Black Gum'.

What type of closure do these trainers have?

Is the sizing true to fit?

It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing guide for the most accurate fit, as trainer sizing can vary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray can help improve water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases can sometimes be reduced by proper stuffing when not in use. For scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole becoming slippery

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from dirt or debris. Gently scrub the sole with a damp cloth. If the slipperiness persists, it may be due to wear and tear on the tread.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Wearing appropriate socks can also prevent rubbing. If the issue persists, the shoes may require a break-in period or may not be the correct fit.
