adidas Originals Handball Spezial - Brown - Size UK 6

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use

The adidas Handball Spezial is ready to wear straight out of the box. For the best initial experience:

1. Try On: Wear them with socks you typically use to ensure a comfortable fit.
2. Break-In Period: While generally comfortable, a short break-in period may help the suede conform to your foot shape.
3. Protection (Optional but Recommended): Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual wardrobes.

• Apparel: Pairs well with denim jeans, corduroys, chino trousers, and even some relaxed-fit dresses or skirts.
• Occasions: Ideal for daily errands, social outings, casual work environments, and travel.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is essential to maintain the look and longevity of your suede Handball Spezial trainers.

• Regular Cleaning:
• Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction.
• For tougher marks, use a suede eraser (often called a 'rubber') to lightly rub away stains.
• Stain Removal:
• For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
• For oil-based stains, apply a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder, let it sit for a few hours to absorb the oil, then brush off.
• Water Protection:
• Regularly apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Reapply after every few cleanings or as directed by the product.
• Drying:
• If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat (radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage suede.
• Stuff with paper to help maintain shape during drying.
• Storage:
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
