FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball or other sports?

While the Handball Spezial has roots in indoor sports, this modern iteration is designed primarily for casual wear and street style. For high-performance sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for current athletic demands.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner according to the product's instructions, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on untreated suede.

What is a gum rubber outsole?

A gum rubber outsole is a type of sole made from natural rubber, known for its excellent grip and durability. It typically has a brownish, translucent appearance, contributing to the shoe's vintage aesthetic.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are generally considered to have a `regular fit`. We recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure, consult Adidas' official size guide.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in wet conditions. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the material.

What makes these 'Spezial'?

The 'Spezial' designation refers to the trainer's heritage, inspired by the original handball shoes from 1979. It signifies a classic design that has been re-launched for today with modern fabric technology while retaining its iconic retro vibe.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore its nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning product according to its instructions.

Trainers are scuffed or marked.

For light scuffs, try rubbing them gently with a clean pencil eraser. For deeper marks, a suede cleaner or professional shoe care may be required.

The gum sole looks discolored or dirty.

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.

Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and leave overnight to absorb odors. Avoid wearing the same pair every day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no 'setup' in the traditional sense, but understanding their compatibility and proper care will ensure their longevity and maintain their classic look.

First Use

Upon receiving your trainers, simply unlace them, slip your feet in, and adjust the `lace closure` to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. Walk around a bit to ensure they feel right. No break-in period is typically required, but comfort may improve slightly after a few wears.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for `adult` `Male` wearers (size `UK 10`). They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing styles, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. They are best suited for urban environments and casual social settings.

Care Instructions

To keep your `premium suede upper` looking its best and prolong the life of your trainers, follow these care tips:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This helps repel water and stains, crucial for maintaining the `suede upper`.
  3. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this will damage the materials and construction.
