FAQs

What are the main materials used in the adidas Handball Spezial Preloved Red Gum?

The upper is primarily made from synthetic suede, with a textile inner lining and a gum rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, this retro version is best suited for casual wear. For serious athletic performance, consider modern sports-specific footwear.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or adidas. Generally, UK sizing is a common standard for this model.

How does the synthetic suede compare to real suede?

Synthetic suede is generally lighter and may be more resistant to water stains, but it can have a different texture and feel compared to genuine suede.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the gum rubber outsole offers some grip, synthetic suede is not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the release date of this specific model?

The adidas Handball Spezial Preloved Red Gum was released on February 15, 2024.

Troubleshooting

Stiff initial feel

Synthetic suede may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Squeaking sole

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discoloration on synthetic suede

Use a specialized synthetic suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
