FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Handball Spezials?
To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. Always avoid excessive water and allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
While the Handball Spezial has athletic roots, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and lifestyle activities rather than high-performance sports due to their material and construction.
What is the upper material of these trainers?
The upper of these Adidas Handball Spezial trainers is made from high-quality suede, providing a premium look and comfortable feel.
How durable is the gum sole?
The trainers feature a durable gum sole with a reinforced heel, specifically designed to withstand regular daily wear and provide good longevity for casual use.
Will the color fade over time?
Like most footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some color fading. Storing your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct light will help preserve their color.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing over time.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. You can apply a suede protector spray for added water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dull.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and appearance.
Visible dirt or light stains on the suede upper.
For loose dirt, use a suede brush. For light stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth, following the product instructions carefully.
Scuffs or dirt on the gum sole.
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush can be effective.
Unpleasant odor inside the trainers.
Remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
- Suede Upper Cleaning:
- Brush Regularly: Use a *suede brush* to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and restore the nap (texture) of the suede. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or stains, use a specialized *suede cleaner* specifically designed for this material. Apply according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid soaking the trainers or using excessive water for cleaning, as it can cause damage or discoloration.
- Gum Sole Cleaning:
- Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) to wipe away dirt, scuffs, and grime from the gum sole.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher dirt, a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) can help scrub the crevices of the sole.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause the suede to shrink, stiffen, or fade.
- Protection: Consider applying a *suede protector spray* designed for footwear. This can help repel water and prevent stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade and colors to fade. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
