Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity.
Setup
Simply unlace, slip your foot in, and lace them up to your desired tightness. The tonal lace-up fastening allows for a custom, secure fit. Adjust the laces to ensure your foot feels snug but not constricted.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for casual compatibility:
- Apparel: Best paired with casual clothing such as jeans, shorts, casual trousers, chinos, and track pants. They complement both relaxed and smart-casual styles.
- Activities: Ideal for daily wear, light walking, social gatherings, and casual outings. They are not designed for high-performance sports or heavy athletic training.
Care Instructions
As these trainers feature a premium suede upper, specific care is required to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure no soap residue gets on the suede.
