FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, their current appeal is primarily as a lifestyle sneaker. They may not offer the specialized support or grip required for competitive play compared to modern athletic shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning product is recommended. Avoid using water excessively.

What is the main benefit of the Handball Spezial series?

The main benefit is the combination of iconic retro style with durable construction and comfortable wearability for everyday casual use.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Sizing can be subjective and vary between individuals. It is advisable to check the adidas sizing guide and consider trying them on if possible.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and adhesives, and may cause the colours to fade.

What are the primary materials used?

These trainers typically feature a combination of suede and synthetic materials for the upper, with a rubber outsole.

Is this model available in other colours?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in various colourways, including different combinations of blue, red, and white.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Footwear sizing can vary. Consult the adidas sizing chart or try on different sizes if possible. Ensure socks are worn during fitting for an accurate feel.

Colour transfer onto socks

Some colour transfer, especially from darker dyes, can occur with new footwear. This usually diminishes with wear. Washing socks separately for the first few wears can help.

Suede material looking worn

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, shorts, track pants, and casual skirts or dresses.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Handball Spezial trainers:

  1. Cleaning: For suede and textile uppers, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and synthetic materials to protect them from the elements.
