FAQs
What material are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers made of?
The upper is primarily made of premium suede, with a gum rubber outsole.
How should I clean my suede trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used. Always allow them to air dry away from heat.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by court classics, these trainers are best suited for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious athletic performance, specialized sports footwear is recommended.
What does the T-toe construction do?
The T-toe is a design feature that adds extra reinforcement and durability to the toe box area, which experiences significant wear.
How do I ensure a good fit?
Lace closure allows for adjustment. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow the suede to break in for optimal comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It is recommended to treat the trainers with a suede protector spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.
What is the main benefit of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip and traction, along with a classic aesthetic that complements the trainer's design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is dry.
Fit feels too tight initially
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the suede to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.
