FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper of the adidas Performance Handball Spezial Trainers is made from suede.

What type of outsole does this trainer have?

These trainers feature a natural rubber outsole for grip and durability.

Are these trainers suitable for professional handball games?

While inspired by handball shoes and offering good grip, these are primarily designed for vintage style and casual wear. For professional play, specialized performance footwear is recommended.

How should I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid washing or soaking.

What does 'regular fit' mean for these trainers?

A 'regular fit' indicates that the trainers are designed for a standard foot width and shape, aiming for general comfort without being too narrow or too wide.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, it's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the suede's material and appearance. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

How do I check if I have the correct size, given potential label variations?

Always prioritize the UK size listed for purchase. When the product arrives, check the box or label for US/Euro sizing and compare it to the UK size you ordered. Trying the shoes on in a controlled environment will confirm the fit.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect.

Please refer to the product description's note regarding potential differences between UK, US, and Euro sizing on the box or label. Try the footwear on before returning to ensure an accurate fit based on the UK size purchased.

Suede material looks dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean the surface and lift the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions, or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to oversaturate the material.

Soles show signs of wear.

The natural rubber outsole is designed for durability, but regular use will lead to wear. For minor wear, cleaning the soles can sometimes restore grip. For significant wear, professional resoling might be an option depending on the shoe's overall condition.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the suede's appearance, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
