FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While originally designed for handball, these trainers are now primarily suited for casual wear. They are not recommended for high-impact sports or activities requiring specialized athletic footwear.

How do I protect the suede from water?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing the shoes for the first time and to reapply it periodically, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture.

What is the gum sole made of?

The gum sole is typically made from a natural rubber compound, which provides excellent grip, flexibility, and durability.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Generally, Adidas Handball Spezial trainers tend to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's often best to consult Adidas's official size guide or try them on if possible.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, you should not put suede trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents and tumbling action can damage the suede, alter its texture, and ruin the shoe's structure. Always clean suede manually.

How durable is the reinforced heel panel?

The reinforced heel panel is designed to significantly enhance the durability of the shoe, providing extra strength and protection against daily wear and tear, especially in a high-stress area.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in short, light strokes in a single direction to lift the fibers.

Visible water marks or stains on suede.

Allow the area to dry completely. For water marks, gently brush. For stains, use a specific suede cleaner following its instructions, blotting the area, not rubbing.

Gum sole appears dirty or sticky.

Clean the sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher grime, a rubber cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective.

Care Instructions:

  1. Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently brush away debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth and blot, do not rub.
  3. Water Protection: To protect the suede from water damage and stains, apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. Allow to dry completely.
  4. Sole Cleaning: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a rubber eraser or specialized sole cleaner can be effective.
  5. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
