FAQs

What is the primary material of these Handball Spezial trainers?

The primary material for the upper of this specific variant is linen, offering a unique texture and breathability.

Are these shoes suitable for sports activities?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. They are not intended for professional athletic performance.

How should I clean the linen upper?

Gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking and air dry naturally. A very mild soap solution can be used cautiously for tougher marks.

What does 'Spezial' mean in the product name?

'Spezial' is German for 'special' and often denotes a line of shoes designed with specific athletic heritage or unique features.

Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial model is available in various colorways and sizes. This guide specifically focuses on the Silver Green Linen version in UK 8.5.

Will the linen material hold up in wet conditions?

Linen is breathable but generally not water-resistant. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.

Troubleshooting

Linen upper appears discolored after cleaning.

Ensure you used a mild cleaning solution and minimal water. Always air dry away from direct heat. For persistent discoloration, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Shoe feels slightly stiff initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. The linen material should become more flexible with use.

Care Instructions:
