Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the adidas sizing chart. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or ensure the retailer has a good return policy for exchanges.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the upper. Allow it to absorb, then buff with a soft cloth.

Traction on outsole is reduced

Clean the outsole grooves with a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Discoloration on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the color of your trainers. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your foot. The lace closure allows for a customized fit.

Compatibility: The Handball Spezial trainers are designed for general adult wear and pair well with a wide range of casual clothing styles. They are not intended for specific sports or activities that require specialized footwear.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for lighter colorways.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
