FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional handball play?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Spezial ST model is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For professional play, specialized handball footwear with advanced support and cushioning is recommended.
How do I clean the off-white suede parts?
Use a dry suede brush for general dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a lightly damp cloth, avoiding saturation. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed using a combination of premium suede and leather for durability and a classic look.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede and leather trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as this can damage the materials and cause staining. Consider using a waterproofing spray for light protection.
What does 'ST' stand for in the product name?
While not explicitly stated in the provided information, 'ST' in Adidas naming conventions often relates to specific design elements or variations, possibly indicating 'Street' or a specific technical update.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.
What is the main color of these trainers?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Try a double knot for extra security. Consider replacing laces if they are worn out.
Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any debris or oil. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down. For very slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear.
