FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers made from?
These trainers feature a durable upper crafted from a mix of leather and synthetic materials, a synthetic lining, and a rubber outsole. They also incorporate LWG (Leather Working Group) preferred materials for environmental consideration.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
While originally inspired by handball shoes, the current adidas Originals Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer comfort and style for everyday use rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean my Handball Spezial trainers?
For leather sections, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For suede areas, use a soft brush to remove dirt. Specialized leather and suede cleaners can be used for deeper cleaning, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Air dry completely.
What does 'LWG preferred materials' mean?
LWG preferred materials indicates that the leather components are sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group. This organization promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly practices within the leather industry.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Adidas trainers generally fit true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to refer to a size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not ideal, especially for the suede components, as it can affect their appearance and longevity. Consider applying a water and stain repellent for added protection in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new footwear, especially those with leather components. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape. This 'break-in' period typically resolves stiffness.
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather or suede.
For leather scuffs, a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner can often reduce their appearance. For suede marks, a suede brush can help lift and refresh the nap. For tougher marks, consider a specialized suede eraser.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. If they still loosen, consider using a double knot. Replacement laces are also an option if the existing ones are worn or slick.
Trainers have an unpleasant odor.
Ensure trainers are fully dry after each use. Remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors.
