FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?

While the Handball Spezial has roots in sports, this particular version is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle fashion. For high-performance sports, dedicated athletic footwear would be more appropriate.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time and to reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Are Adidas Handball Spezial trainers true to size?

Generally, Adidas trainers tend to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to try the next half size up, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. This specific model is a UK size 8.5.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers. It can severely damage the material, alter the color, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always opt for hand cleaning methods specifically designed for suede.

What is the material of the sole?

The trainers feature a thick gum sole, known for its durability, flexibility, and excellent grip.

Is this a limited edition colorway?

Yes, the 'Chalky Brown Clear Pink Gold Metallic' colorway is described as an exclusive to Office, making it a unique offering.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flattened or dull.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in a consistent direction for best results.

Visible scuffs or light stains on the suede.

Use a suede eraser to lightly rub away the scuff or stain. For deeper marks, consider a dedicated suede cleaning solution.

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.

Suede shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size.

Trainers smell unpleasant after extended wear.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda (placed in socks) inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care Instructions for Suede

Maintaining the quality and appearance of your suede trainers is crucial:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a suede brush (often with both wire and rubber bristles). Gently brush in one direction to remove debris and restore the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning Stains: For small stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner solution can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product instructions.
  4. Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
