FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While the Handball Spezial has roots in the sport, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and retro style. They may not offer the specialized support and grip required for competitive handball.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to check the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot length. Reviews often suggest they fit true to size, but personal preference for tightness can vary.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe.

How do I care for the gum sole?

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The main color is a preloved brown, complemented by orange tint accents.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific listing mentions 'Female', the Handball Spezial series often has unisex appeal. Please check the product details for the specific gender designation.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to mold to your feet over time. You can also try using a shoe stretcher or wearing them for short periods to gradually break them in.

Scuff marks on the gum sole

Gently scrub the affected area with a melamine sponge (magic eraser) or a soft cloth with a small amount of toothpaste. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to dry.

Discoloration from water or dirt

Attend to stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. For persistent stains on suede/nubuck, use a specialized suede cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild soap solution, avoiding excessive water. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
