FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

No, while they were originally designed for indoor handball, they are best suited for casual wear, light indoor activities, and urban walking today. For intense running or competitive sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I protect the suede from water damage?

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 very wet conditions to preserve the suede.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can severely damage the material, alter the shoe's shape, and degrade the cushioning components. Always follow specific suede cleaning instructions.

What does 'non-marking rubber outsole' mean?

A non-marking rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent grip and traction on various surfaces, particularly indoor courts, without leaving scuff marks or streaks on the floor.

Are these true to size?

adidas trainers generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend referring to the size guide if available, or trying them on to ensure the best fit.

What is ADIPRENE® cushioning?

ADIPRENE® is an adidas technology that provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, typically located in the heel and forefoot areas, to protect the foot upon impact and enhance overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and refresh the appearance of the material.

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace-up fastening. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned for a snug yet comfortable fit. If they are consistently uncomfortable, verify you have the correct size for your feet.

Minor scuffs or dirt on the suede.

For light marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the scuff. For dirt, use a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner designed for the material may be required.

Outsole seems to be losing grip.

Inspect the non-marking rubber outsole for any embedded debris or dirt. Clean the tread with a damp cloth to ensure optimal traction. Excessive wear might naturally reduce grip over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Handball Spezial trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Adjust the tension for a customized fit.
  2. Fit: Slip your foot into the shoe and adjust the laces for a snug, comfortable fit. The padded cuff will hug your ankle and provide support.
  3. Break-in: While generally comfortable from the start, a short break-in period might allow the suede to conform perfectly to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile:

  • Style: They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including denim, chinos, shorts, and tracksuits. Their retro aesthetic makes them a stylish complement to both modern and vintage-inspired looks.
  • Activities: Ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, light indoor activities, and social events. Not recommended for heavy-duty sports like running marathons or playing competitive outdoor sports in harsh conditions due to the suede material.

Care

Given the premium suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the trainers' appearance and longevity.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth (not wet) with a small amount of mild soap. Dab the stain gently; do not rub aggressively. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
  4. Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Let them air dry completely at room temperature.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, mud, or harsh chemicals that can damage suede.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
