Full details

This guide is for fashion-conscious women seeking a stylish, retro-inspired trainer with a modern twist. The key benefit is the elevated platform sole offering a bold statement and enhanced comfort for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the platform sole may require a brief adjustment period for some users. The adidas Originals Handball Spezial Bold trainers combine the iconic 70s handball design with a contemporary platform silhouette, featuring a suede upper, leather accents, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the Handball Spezial Bold trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer comfort and durability for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede material without damaging it?

Use a dry suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions meticulously. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the main difference between these and the original Handball Spezial?

The primary difference is the 'Bold' design, which features an enhanced, stacked platform sole for a more prominent silhouette and added height, compared to the original's flatter profile.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What size should I order if I am between sizes?

Given the nature of suede and the platform sole, it's often recommended to size up if you are between sizes, especially if you prefer more room in the toe box or plan to wear thicker socks.

How do I care for the leather 3-Stripes?

Wipe the leather accents gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture to prevent damage to the leather.

What does the 'Gold Foil Spezial Wordmark' refer to?

This refers to the adidas Spezial branding, often found on the side of the shoe, which is printed or embossed in a gold foil finish, adding a premium detail.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a dry suede brush to gently buff the surface and lift dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.

Shoes feel slightly stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new suede shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The cushioning and materials will conform to your foot over time.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.

Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets evenly. Try a different lacing knot, such as a surgeon's knot, for a more secure hold. Consider replacing laces if they are worn out.

The platform sole feels uneven or causes a slight wobble.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Minor adjustments can be made by using thicker or thinner insoles if desired. If the issue persists, it may indicate a manufacturing defect.
