FAQs

How do I clean my adidas Handball Spezial suede trainers?

Avoid water. Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Apply a suede protector spray regularly to help prevent future stains.

Are these trainers comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial trainers feature ADIPRENE+ cushioning and a specially formulated sock liner, designed to provide responsive comfort and support for extended periods of wear.

What is the Torsion system?

The Torsion system is an adidas technology designed to allow the front and rear of the foot to move independently, promoting natural foot movement and offering enhanced midfoot support and stability.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, adidas Handball Spezial trainers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting specific size guides from retailers.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in the rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and brush them once dry to restore the nap.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper is 100% suede, and the sole is 100% rubber. They also feature a synthetic lining and are made with LWG (Leather Working Group) preferred materials for an eco-friendly choice.

What's the best way to maintain the color of the pink suede?

To maintain the vibrant pink color, regularly brush the suede to remove dirt and dust, and use a suede protector spray. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in small, circular motions, then in a single direction to even out the texture.

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across your foot until you achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if needed.

Small stains or scuffs on the suede.

For dry stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaning product, following its instructions carefully and testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often, this is due to the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the sock liner, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe (under where the insole sits), then reinserting the sock liner. If the squeak persists, inspect the outsole for any loose parts (unlikely with a gum sole, but possible).

Odor develops inside the trainers.

Ensure trainers are fully dry after each use. Remove sock liners to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Unpack your new trainers and adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. The lace closure allows for personalized tension across your foot. Ensure the tongue sits flat for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and can complement a range of styles:

  • Sporty & Casual: Ideal with joggers, jeans, shorts, and adidas tracksuits for a classic streetwear vibe.
  • Fashion-Forward: Pair them with dresses or skirts for a stylish, unexpected contrast, especially in warmer weather.
  • Color Matching: The pink suede offers a distinctive colorway. It can be a focal point with neutral outfits or blended into a coordinated look with complementary shades.

Care Instructions

The suede material of your Handball Spezial trainers requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.

  1. Water & Stains: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing them in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, pat them dry gently with a clean cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat.
  2. Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to regularly remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, brush back and forth gently.
  3. Protective Spray: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  4. Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner or an eraser designed for suede. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
