FAQs
Are the Adidas Handball Spezial trainers suitable for professional handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic use. For professional play, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is best to avoid wearing suede trainers in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly and consider using a suede protector spray to offer some water resistance.
What is the main benefit of the suede material?
Suede offers a premium, soft texture and a distinctive retro aesthetic, contributing to the trainers' stylish and classic appearance.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary, but typically lasts a few days to a week of moderate wear, allowing the trainers to mould to your foot.
What does 'Handball Spezial' refer to?
'Handball Spezial' signifies a specific line of Adidas footwear originally designed for handball players, known for their durable construction and flat soles, which have since become a popular lifestyle sneaker.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions, and allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the trainers with medium-thick socks for a few hours each day to allow them to stretch and conform to your foot shape. Avoid excessive moisture, as this can damage suede.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the rubber appears worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
Colour transfer from suede
This can happen when suede is wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wear and consider using a suede protector spray to minimize colour bleeding.
