FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ADIPRENE+ cushioning?

ADIPRENE+ cushioning provides enhanced comfort and responsiveness, absorbing impact and offering a springy feel with every step.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to a standard UK sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

Are these trainers suitable for sports like handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They offer good grip and stability for everyday activities but may not provide the specialized support for competitive play.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede uppers. Machine washing can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and appearance.

What does the Torsion system do?

The Torsion system provides support to the midfoot and allows the shoe to twist more naturally, enhancing stability and control.

How should I store my Handball Spezial trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of velvety suede, which gives it a premium, retro look.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looking dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its texture and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow its instructions.

Laces becoming worn or dirty

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.

Sole traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
