FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, drawing inspiration from vintage handball silhouettes. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.
How should I clean the suede upper?
For best results, use a specialized suede brush and a dedicated suede cleaning product. Gently brush off loose dirt and follow the cleaner's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the suede.
What does ADIPRENE+ cushioning do?
ADIPRENE+ is a highly responsive cushioning material used in the forefoot to maintain propulsion and efficiency. It provides excellent shock absorption and energy return, enhancing comfort for everyday wear.
What is the Torsion system?
The Torsion system is an Adidas technology designed to allow the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and adaptability on uneven surfaces.
Are these trainers true to size?
Adidas trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to consult the Adidas size guide if you are unsure or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede upper, it's advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as water can stain or damage suede. Consider applying a water-resistant spray designed for suede to offer some protection.
What materials are these trainers made from?
The upper features a combination of smooth leather and velvety suede, along with a durable gum rubber outsole.
The product description mentions 'Female' gender; are these exclusively for women?
While listed under 'Female', the Handball Spezial often features a versatile, unisex design. The fit is generally standard, so many individuals find them comfortable regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush off loose dirt with a specialized suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit, following its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
Trainers feel less supportive over extended wear.
The ADIPRENE+ cushioning is designed for comfort. If you require additional arch support or pronation control, consider using an orthotic insert that fits well within the low-profile design.
Gum sole feels slippery.
Ensure the textured grip tread is clean and free of debris or mud. If the sole is significantly worn smooth over time, the grip will naturally diminish, indicating it might be time for replacement.
