Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like most leather footwear, wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner for the upper. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the structural integrity of the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adidas sizing, though the low-profile design may feel more snug than bulky running shoes.
