FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Handball Spezial trainers are designed primarily for casual everyday wear and offer good comfort and style for such activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas Originals or consult with a retailer for accurate sizing. Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space at the toe and that the heel does not slip.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The product description indicates durable materials suitable for daily use, often a combination of leather or synthetic overlays with a textile base, typical for this model.
How do I clean the blue and white parts separately?
Use a slightly damp cloth for the white areas and a specialized brush or dry cloth for the blue sections. For deeper cleaning, mild soap can be used cautiously on white parts, while colored sections may require specific cleaners to prevent color transfer.
What does the 'Handball Spezial' name signify?
Handball Spezial refers to a line of shoes originally designed for handball players, known for their flat soles and supportive construction, which have since become popular lifestyle sneakers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles for added comfort or support, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Discoloration on white accents
Gently clean the white areas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized shoe cleaner for white materials can be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. They are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the trainers, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Allow trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. For the suede or nubuck elements, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore texture. Regular care will help preserve the classic look and extend the lifespan of your shoes.
