FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers generally fit true to size for women. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size for the best fit.

Can I wear these for sports, like actual handball?

While inspired by the original handball shoes, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. It offers comfort and style for daily activities, but it's not intended for high-performance sports or court use.

How do I clean the grey suede?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution following its instructions. Always air dry away from heat.

Are the trainers waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the material. We recommend applying a water-resistant suede protector spray for added defense against moisture.

What is the 'Torsion System'?

The Torsion System is a lightweight arch support system designed by Adidas. It allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and adaptability on uneven surfaces.

What does 'LWG preferred materials' mean?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. Using LWG preferred materials means that the leather components come from tanneries that have been audited and certified for environmentally responsible practices, focusing on areas like water usage, energy consumption, and waste management.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and an eraser for scuffs. For deeper grime, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Always air dry.

Shoes squeak when walking.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole. If persistent, check if the insole is properly seated or consider replacing it.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. The 'regular fit' means they should accommodate most foot shapes. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing thinner socks initially to break them in. If discomfort persists, check for any pressure points inside the shoe.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. Simply unbox, lace them up, and they're ready to wear.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear Compatibility: Designed as a regular fit, they are compatible with standard athletic socks or no-show socks for a cleaner look.
  • Style Compatibility: Their classic design pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including denim, chinos, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care Instructions (Suede Uppers):

Maintaining the velvety suede uppers is key to preserving the trainers' appearance. Follow these steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear. Follow the product's instructions for application.
  2. Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft-bristle suede brush.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small marks or scuffs, use a dedicated suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the affected area.
  4. Deeper Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaning solution. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and dab the stain, rather than rubbing. Follow the product's specific instructions.
  5. Drying: Always allow suede to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the material.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.

Important: Avoid machine washing or submerging suede trainers in water, as this can damage the material and adhesives.
