FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the adidas Handball Spezial Trainers offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I maintain the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, and always air dry away from heat. Consider using a suede protector spray.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

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

What is the sole made of?

The trainers feature a durable, thick gum sole, known for its traction and resilience in everyday use.

How do I clean the laces?

You can remove the laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a garment bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.

What does 'Spezial' mean in the product name?

'Spezial' is German for 'special'. This series often refers to adidas shoes inspired by archival designs or with specific heritage roots.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular use, the lifespan can vary, but the durable construction, including the reinforced heel and gum sole, suggests they are built for longevity as casual footwear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth. Always allow to air dry completely and brush afterwards.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Fit feels too snug

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are too thick.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the suede. Always allow suede to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Gum Sole: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle in a garment bag.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and direct sunlight.
