FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Handball Spezial LT trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and offer comfort for walking and light activity. They are not specialized for performance in sports like handball or other intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a soft suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and following product instructions. Always allow suede to air dry away from heat.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction for everyday wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede.

What does 'LT' stand for in the product name?

While not explicitly stated in the product information, 'LT' in footwear often stands for 'Lightweight', suggesting a focus on a lighter build for enhanced comfort.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or Adidas. These trainers are listed in UK adult sizing. Ensure you measure your foot correctly from heel to toe.

What is the primary material used?

The primary upper material is suede, with smooth leather accents on the collar and heel.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar style and length. Laces can be hand-washed or replaced.

Sole is dirty.

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove stubborn dirt from crevices.

Discomfort during wear.

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Break-in period might be required for new shoes. Consider using insoles if additional cushioning is desired.
