FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?

The Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style, not for performance sports. While they originated from handball, modern sports shoes offer specialized features for athletic performance.

How do I protect the suede from getting wet or stained?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and to reapply it periodically. This creates a barrier against moisture and helps repel stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the best way to clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a soft brush or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution can be used. Ensure to rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Are these trainers true to size?

Adidas Spezial trainers generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by foot shape. If unsure, checking Adidas's official size guide or trying them on if possible is recommended.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, suede trainers should never be put in a washing machine. The harsh agitation and water can damage the suede material, alter its texture, and potentially cause colors to bleed or fade. Always clean them by hand.

What does 'Handball Spezial' signify?

'Handball Spezial' refers to the trainers' origins as an indoor sports shoe specifically designed for handball players in the late 1970s. Today, while still appreciated for its durable construction, it is largely celebrated as a classic lifestyle sneaker.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dull.

Use a suede brush with short, firm strokes to lift the nap and restore the texture. Brush in one consistent direction.

Visible water spots or stains on the suede.

For light water spots, use a suede brush to gently work the area after it has dried. For more stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaning solution, following its instructions carefully. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Creasing on the upper from wear.

When not wearing your trainers, insert shoe trees to help maintain their original shape and minimize creasing. Avoid storing them in a crumpled state.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your suede trainers:

  1. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against moisture and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product instructions carefully.
  4. Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
