FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial trainers true to size?
Generally, the adidas Handball Spezial trainers fit true to size for most wearers. However, due to the suede material, some users prefer to size up for a slightly roomier fit, especially if they have wider feet.
How do I best clean the suede upper?
For regular cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dust and light dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water excessively, as it can alter the texture and color of the suede.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as suede is susceptible to water damage, staining, and loss of shape. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and brush the suede once dry.
What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability, characteristic of the original handball shoe design. It offers reliable traction on various surfaces and contributes to the shoe's vintage aesthetic.
What does OrthoLite® sockliner mean for comfort?
The OrthoLite® sockliner is designed to provide long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, enhancing overall comfort during wear.
How do these trainers differ from modern athletic shoes?
These trainers retain a vintage design focused on style and comfort for casual wear. Modern athletic shoes often feature more advanced cushioning technologies, specialized support systems, and materials geared towards high-performance sports.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and lift away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently lift the matted fibers. Avoid using heat sources.
Gum sole is discolored
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn discoloration, a magic eraser can sometimes be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water, or place in a garment bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.
