FAQs

What materials are the ADIDAS ORIGINALS Handball Spezial Trainers made from?

The trainers feature uppers crafted from nubuck leather and synthetic materials, with a distinctive suede T-toe. The soles are made from classic gum rubber for durability and grip.

Are these trainers suitable for actual sports, like handball?

While inspired by the original 1979 handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle fashion. They offer comfort and style for everyday use rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean my Handball Spezial trainers?

For the nubuck and suede upper, use a specialized suede/nubuck brush and cleaner. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. The gum rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

These trainers are described as having a regular fit. It is generally recommended to select your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.

What is the 'T-toe' feature?

The T-toe refers to a classic design detail on the front toe box of the shoe, typically made of suede. It's a heritage feature that contributes to the shoe's retro aesthetic and offers additional durability in that area.

Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?

While durable, the nubuck and suede materials are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to use a protective spray to enhance water resistance and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their quality.

Troubleshooting

Suede/Nubuck looks dull or stained.

Use a specialized suede/nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede/nubuck cleaner following product instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously.

Soles feel slippery or lack grip.

Clean the gum rubber soles thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure they are dry before wearing.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The leather and suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations around the house or on light outings to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet. Ensure your socks are comfortable and not causing friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Handball Spezial Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers and adjust the laces to your desired tightness for a secure yet comfortable fit.
  2. Break-in: As with most leather and suede footwear, a short break-in period might be beneficial. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adult males and are highly versatile for casual and smart-casual wardrobes. Their classic design complements a wide range of clothing styles, from jeans and chinos to shorts and even some relaxed tailoring. They are ideal for daily wear, social outings, and light urban exploration.

Care Instructions

Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your Handball Spezial Trainers, especially given their nubuck and suede components:

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe away debris from the nubuck and suede upper.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Specific Care: For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized suede and nubuck cleaner and brush. Follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material.
  3. Gum Sole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its grip and appearance.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede and nubuck protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  5. Drying: If wet, allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
