FAQs

What is the main difference between these and the original Handball Spezial shoes?

The main difference is the 'Bold' version features a significantly thicker, stacked platform rubber outsole, giving it a more contemporary and elevated silhouette compared to the original's flatter profile.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball heritage, these 'Bold' trainers are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. They are not optimized for the specific demands of athletic performance in sports like handball.

How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. It's best to avoid getting the suede wet; if they do, allow them to air dry and then brush.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The trainers feature a suede upper, leather 3-Stripes and overlays, a textile and suede lining, and a synthetic sole with a rubber outsole.

How should I choose my size?

These are women's trainers. Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate conversion to UK sizes. They are designed for a regular fit, so your usual trainer size should be appropriate.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather conditions, as water can damage the suede material and potentially lead to color bleeding. Always allow them to dry naturally if they do get wet.

What does the gold foil Spezial wordmark signify?

The gold foil Spezial wordmark is a premium branding detail that honors the shoe's original release and adds a touch of distinctiveness to the design.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser. Avoid water saturation.

Laces are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the eyelets are clear. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones. Check that the lacing pattern is not too tight in certain areas.

Platform sole feels unstable.

This can be a matter of adjustment. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you are walking naturally, utilizing the full sole. If instability persists, check for any manufacturing defects.

Color transfer from suede to socks.

This is sometimes possible with new suede items, especially in darker colors. It may reduce with wear. Ensure the suede is dry before wearing. You can try a suede protector spray, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. Lace them up using the provided laces to achieve desired tightness.

Compatibility: The Handball Spezial Bold trainers are designed for casual wear and pair well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses. They are suitable for adult women.

Care:

  1. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting the suede wet; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat and then brush to restore the nap.
  2. Leather Accents: Wipe leather 3-Stripes and other leather details with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Lining: The interior lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and damage.
