Adidas Handball Spezial - Red - UK 4

While originally designed for indoor sports, the Adidas Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle trainer. It's best suited for casual wear and light walking, not high-performance athletic activities like running or intense court sports.

Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains, making them easier to clean. Always allow the spray to dry completely before wearing.

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers. It can damage the material, alter the shoe's shape, and cause colors to bleed. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.

The gum sole is made from a natural rubber compound, which gives it its distinctive translucent, amber-like color and provides excellent grip and durability, contributing to the shoe's vintage appeal.

Generally, Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are considered to run true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both.

Info needed: [While many Adidas shoes feature removable OrthoLite sockliners, specific information for this model is not provided. Typically, if removable, it aids in custom orthotic use and cleaning.]

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used before brushing.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. If slightly snug, the suede may stretch minimally over time. If too loose, adjust lacing for a more secure fit or consider adding a thin insole for better volume.

Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing shoe inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure socks are worn to help manage moisture.
