FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, these Spezial trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For professional handball, specialized sports footwear with enhanced performance features would be recommended.
How do I clean the snake skin pattern?
Clean the patterned areas gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the pattern's finish.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather protectant spray can improve water resistance.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of premium leather with an animal (snake skin) pattern finish.
Is this model available in other sizes?
This guide is specific to the UK 8.5 size. The Adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various sizes; please check other listings for availability.
How does the sizing compare to other Adidas trainers?
The Adidas Spezial series generally runs true to size for most wearers. However, slight variations can occur. It's always best to consult the Adidas sizing chart if unsure.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, sole construction, and the patterned finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially
Leather will stretch and mold to your foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Marks or scuffs on the leather
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away fresh marks. For tougher scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow product instructions.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between the sole and upper if accessible. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
