FAQs

What material are the adidas Handball Spezial Trainers made of?

The upper is primarily made of premium suede, with a gum rubber outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by court shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and everyday activities. They may not offer the specialized performance features for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid washing them.

Do these trainers come in different colors or sizes?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways and a wide range of adult sizes. This guide specifically refers to the Grey One/Core Black/Gum4 colorway in UK 9.5.

What is the typical fit of these trainers?

They generally have a standard fit. It is recommended to refer to adidas sizing charts for the most accurate fit, especially when ordering online.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as the material can be easily damaged and stained by water.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, a dedicated suede cleaner may be required, following product instructions carefully.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Consider replacing worn-out laces or using a double knot for extra security.

Gum sole appears discolored.

Clean the gum sole gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Discoloration can sometimes be a natural aging process of gum rubber.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede to soften and mold to your foot. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to regularly remove dirt and maintain the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner.

  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box, to protect from dust and maintain shape.
