FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and lacks the cushioning and support required for running.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Wipe the gum sole down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Use an old toothbrush for any stubborn dirt lodged in the tread patterns.

Does the linen material stretch?

Like most fabrics, linen may give slightly with consistent wear, but it generally maintains its shape well if sized correctly.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Linen is porous and can easily soak up water, and persistent moisture can compromise the adhesive between the sole and the upper.

What size should I order?

These shoes follow standard adult sizing. If you typically wear a UK size 8, the size 8 version should provide the correct fit.

Are these shoes unisex?

While listed with gender specifications, the Handball Spezial series is famous for its universal appeal and can be worn by anyone who appreciates its classic style.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the linen surface

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently remove dry dirt; avoid rubbing too hard to prevent fabric pilling.

Loss of grip on the gum sole

Check the outsole for debris and clean with a damp cloth to restore the natural tackiness of the rubber.

Creasing in the upper material

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable linen construction
  • Excellent traction provided by the gum sole
  • Classic, iconic design suitable for various outfits
  • High-quality build typical of the adidas Spezial series

Cons

  • Linen material can be more susceptible to staining
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports or high-impact training
  • Requires more frequent cleaning to keep the upper pristine

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Because these shoes are made with linen, avoid exposing them to harsh elements like mud or heavy rain. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean them gently with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, which can damage the structural integrity of the material and the gum sole. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources when drying to prevent warping or shrinkage.
