FAQs

Are adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers suitable for sports?

No, while inspired by a handball shoe, the modern adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed for casual fashion and everyday wear, not for performance sports or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede on my Handball Spezial trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or dedicated suede cleaner should be used, following the product instructions. Always avoid excessive water and harsh detergents.

Are these trainers true to size?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers generally run true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain. Suede is sensitive to water and can get easily stained or damaged. Apply a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.

What is the material of the sole?

The trainers feature a durable rubber outsole, providing reliable grip and a classic look.

What does the 'Goldfoil Spezial' text mean?

The 'Goldfoil Spezial' text printed on the lateral side is a design detail that signifies the model name and adds an authentic, premium touch, paying homage to the shoe's heritage.

How can I prevent the suede from getting scuffed?

Regularly apply a suede protector spray. For minor scuffs, gently rub with a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and minimize their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper dirt, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions.

Water spots or liquid stains on suede

Allow the area to dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently rub the stain. For persistent spots, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

These trainers, especially with suede uppers, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to soften and mold to your feet for optimal comfort.

Colour fading over time

Suede colours can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from harsh light. Regular application of a suede protector spray can also help maintain colour vibrancy.

Care & Maintenance

The suede material of your Handball Spezial trainers requires specific care to maintain their appearance and longevity. Proper maintenance will help preserve the soft feel and rich color of the suede.

  1. Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates an invisible barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically according to the product instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and scuff marks. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or an eraser designed for suede. Follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is highly sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing your trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape, then let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause color fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb internal moisture.
