FAQs

What is the primary intended use for these trainers?

The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are versatile and can be used for everyday casual wear, light athletic activities, and as a stylish lifestyle sneaker. They are inspired by historical handball footwear.

Are these trainers suitable for running long distances?

While comfortable for walking and light activity, they are not specifically designed for long-distance running and may lack the advanced cushioning and support required for such activities.

How should I clean the brown leather and orange gum sole?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner if needed. The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth, mild soap, or a dedicated sole cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Do these trainers come in other colours?

The product description mentions a Preloved Brown colourway with Orange Tint Gum accents. While this specific listing is for that variant, the Handball Spezial series often comes in various colours and materials across different product siblings.

What does 'Preloved Brown' refer to?

'Preloved Brown' refers to the specific shade and finish of the brown colour, evoking a vintage or worn-in aesthetic, rather than indicating the shoes are pre-owned.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a comfortable snug fit without pinching. Your heel should not slip excessively. It's advisable to check size guides and compare with your usual footwear size, noting that athletic shoe sizing can vary.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using a leather protector spray and avoid excessive exposure to rain. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Leather can stretch slightly with wear, but if they are significantly tight, they may be the wrong size. Loosen the laces to create more room.

Gum sole getting dirty or scuffed

Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized sole cleaner to gently scrub away dirt and scuffs. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.

Discoloration on the orange tint

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and store away from light when not in use.

Care Instructions:
