FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While the adidas Handball Spezial was originally an indoor sports shoe, this modern version is primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear fashion, not for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I choose the correct size?

These trainers are listed in UK adult female sizing (UK 6.5). Generally, adidas shoes fit true to size. If unsure, it's recommended to consult an adidas sizing guide or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?

The suede upper is not waterproof. It is highly recommended to treat your trainers with a water-repellent suede protector spray to help minimize water damage, but avoid heavy rain when possible.

What is the main material of the shoe's upper?

The upper of these adidas Handball Spezial trainers is made from premium suede, providing a distinctive look and feel.

How do I clean the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the textured areas of the sole.

Will the yellow color fade over time?

Like many dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some color fading over a very long period. Proper storage away from direct light helps maintain the vibrant yellow.

Is the leather lining removable?

The smooth leather lining is an integrated part of the shoe's construction for comfort and is not designed to be removable.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. Always brush in one direction for best results.

Visible dirt or scuffs on the suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away surface marks. For persistent dirt, a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material can be applied following its instructions.

Trainers feel too stiff initially

The smooth leather lining and suede upper will soften with wear. Wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow them to break in comfortably.

Stains from liquids on suede

For fresh liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. Allow to dry completely, then gently brush. For dried stains, consult a professional suede cleaning service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup To use your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, simply lace them up to your preferred tightness. There is no complex setup required. The lace-up closure allows for a customized and secure fit. ### Compatibility These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. They can be effortlessly paired with: - Apparel: Jeans, shorts, skirts, casual dresses, chinos, and track pants. - Occasions: Daily errands, social meetups, casual work environments, urban exploration, and concerts. Their vintage aesthetic also makes them a great statement piece with more contemporary styles. ### Care To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your suede adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these care guidelines: 1. Suede Protection: Before your first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This will help repel water and stains. 2. Regular Cleaning: * Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft-bristled suede brush (or a clean, soft cloth) after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. * For tougher dirt or scuffs, use a dedicated suede eraser to gently rub away marks. 3. Stain Treatment: * For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. * For dried stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as they can damage the suede. 4. Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. 5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees inside to help them retain their original shape and prevent creasing.
