Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit is versatile wearability, offering a classic look that transitions seamlessly from casual outings to active pursuits. A potential caveat is that while rooted in performance, they are now primarily a lifestyle shoe, so extreme athletic demands might require specialized footwear. These trainers feature a premium leather upper, a comfortable synthetic lining, and a durable rubber outsole, maintaining their heritage appeal while providing reliable comfort for daily use.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?

While the Handball Spezial were originally designed for handball, they are now primarily considered a lifestyle shoe. They offer good grip and a classic feel but may lack the advanced technical support and cushioning required for competitive play.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart, which typically correlates UK shoe sizes with foot measurements in centimeters or inches. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, lining, and sole construction. Hand clean using the methods described in the care section.

What is the difference between leather and suede variants?

Leather variants offer a smoother, more premium finish and tend to be more water-resistant, while suede variants have a softer, textured feel and require specific care to maintain their appearance and prevent staining.

How do I break in new trainers?

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking on different surfaces can also help the sole adapt. Ensure the lacing is comfortable but not overly tight.

What is the COLD CEMENT construction?

This refers to a method of attaching the sole to the upper using adhesives at room temperature. It ensures a durable bond while maintaining flexibility in the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe to 'break them in'. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Leather scuffs or marks

Use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth to gently clean the affected area. For stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner may be required. Condition the leather afterward.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause undue stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are laced correctly for a comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for personalization to your foot's shape.

Compatibility:

Designed as a unisex adult footwear, they are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not designed for specific electronic or technical integrations.

Care:

  • Leather Upper: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid excessive water exposure.
  • Suede (if applicable to specific variants): Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. Treat with a suede protector spray.
  • Rubber Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure debris is removed to maintain grip.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
