FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Adidas Handball Spezial trainers generally fit true to size. It's recommended to select your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the suede is durable, it's not inherently waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Applying a good quality suede protector spray can help repel light moisture and reduce the risk of water damage, but it will not make them fully waterproof.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber or surrounding suede.

What is the Torsion System?

The Torsion System is a lightweight arch support that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and adaptive ground control.

Are the materials eco-friendly?

This particular model description mentions being 'Made with LWG preferred materials', indicating that the leather components are sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, which promotes sustainable and appropriate environmental business practices within the leather industry.

Can I use these for sports activities?

While originating from handball, these trainers are now primarily a lifestyle shoe. They offer comfort and support for casual wear but are not designed for the rigorous demands of modern sports performance or high-impact activities.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Water stains on suede

If already stained, lightly dampen the entire affected area with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Once dry, brush the suede. For future prevention, apply a water and stain protector.

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace tension. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For more room, loosen them gradually from the toe box up. Consider wearing them with different sock thicknesses.

Minor scuffs or marks on suede

Gently rub the scuff with a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser for light marks). Afterwards, use a suede brush to re-fluff the nap.

Unpleasant odor from trainers

Remove the sock liner and air out the shoes. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure proper ventilation after wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Adidas Handball Spezial trainers involves proper setup, understanding their compatibility, and diligent care.

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon first wear, take the time to properly lace and tie your trainers. Adjust the laces to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that isn't too tight or too loose.
  2. First Wear: Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow the suede to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for casual and lifestyle use. They pair well with:

  • Apparel: Jeans, chinos, tracksuits, shorts, casual dresses, and skirts.
  • Occasions: Everyday wear, casual outings, social gatherings, light urban exploration.

Product Care

Given the premium suede material, proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers.

  • Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
  • Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help retain their shape.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use conventional detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
  • Professional Cleaning: For deep stains or extensive cleaning, consider taking them to a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Always follow the specific care instructions provided with your footwear.
