FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of smooth leather.
Are these suitable for sports activities?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Measuring your foot length can also help.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the trainers.
What is the main difference between these and the original Handball Spezial?
The main difference is the 'Bold' aspect, which refers to the significantly chunkier midsole that provides extra cushioning and a more modern aesthetic compared to the original, slimmer silhouette.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and consider using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper to maintain their shape.
What does '3-Stripes' and 'Trefoil' branding refer to?
These are iconic adidas logos. The 3-Stripes are the three parallel stripes commonly found on adidas apparel and footwear, while the Trefoil is the older adidas logo, often used to signify heritage products like the Handball Spezial series.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensure the insole is properly seated. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Tight fit
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period, or use a shoe stretcher. If the tightness is significant, consider if a different size might be more appropriate.
Traction feels insufficient
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The outsole provides traction on dry surfaces; performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery conditions.
