FAQs
What type of leather is used for the upper?
The trainers feature a high-quality leather upper, known for its durability and ability to conform to the wearer's foot.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, these are primarily casual trainers. For competitive handball, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I best clean the gum sole?
A damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher marks, use a specialized rubber sole cleaner, ensuring it's safe for the material.
Will the cushioning wear out over time?
The cushioning is designed for durability, but like all footwear, it will naturally compress with prolonged use. Proper care can help maintain its effectiveness.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather can withstand light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What is the main difference between the Spezial and other adidas trainers?
The Spezial line often features heritage designs with specific material choices like gum soles and premium leather/suede, blending classic sports aesthetics with everyday comfort.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning, especially after cleaning.
Traction on the gum sole is reduced
Clean the gum sole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you have tried them on with appropriate socks. Some users find leather trainers break in and conform to the foot shape over time.
General scuff marks on the leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a mild leather cleaner with a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
