FAQs

How do I properly clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, and always allow them to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball or other sports?

While originally designed as an indoor handball shoe, the Adidas Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle and streetwear trainer. We do not recommend them for intensive sports activities due to their fashion-oriented design and suede material.

What is the sizing like for the Handball Spezial?

These trainers are listed in UK women's size 5.5. Adidas typically runs true to size, but we recommend checking an Adidas size chart if you are unsure or between sizes. The fit is generally comfortable and accommodates standard foot widths.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Due to the suede upper, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions as water can stain and damage suede. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally.

What does 'Spezial' mean on the shoe?

The 'Spezial' collection from Adidas celebrates classic designs and heritage sportswear. The gold embossed 'Spezial' print on the back tab signifies its connection to this iconic archive and the shoe's original purpose as an indoor pro model.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper is made of premium suede, the lining is smooth leather, and the outsole is 100% rubber.

Is there any special break-in period required?

Generally, the smooth leather lining provides immediate comfort. However, like any new shoe, wearing them for shorter periods initially can help them conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

How can I protect the vibrant colours from fading?

To protect the yellow and purple colours, avoid prolonged direct sun exposure when storing them. Using a suitable suede protector spray can also help guard against environmental elements and maintain colour vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner designed for the material, following the product instructions carefully.

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct UK size 5.5. Adjust the lacing to customize the fit, ensuring it's snug but not restrictive. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.

Laces frequently come undone

Try a double knot for added security. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and pulled taut but comfortably before tying.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This is uncommon for new rubber soles. If it persists, ensure the inside is dry and free of debris. Sometimes a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help if it's an internal friction issue.

Color fading over time

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colours. Regular cleaning and proper storage will help preserve the vibrant yellow and purple hues.

Care:

  • Suede Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, using a clean cloth or sponge. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to repel water and stains, especially before first wear.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
