FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear. They may not offer the specialized support and performance required for competitive handball.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
It is highly recommended to try the footwear on before returning. Pay attention to the UK size indicated, as the box or label might display different US or EU sizing which can cause confusion.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The suede upper is not waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to wet conditions can damage the suede. It's best to wear these in dry weather or use a suede protector spray.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of natural rubber, providing good grip and durability for everyday use.
How should I clean the white suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry naturally.
What does 'Handball Spezial' signify?
It signifies that the design is based on a classic adidas shoe originally created for the sport of handball, known for its flat profile and durable construction.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways. This specific product guide focuses on the white variant, UK size 9.5.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect upon arrival
Check the sizing label inside the shoe against your usual size. Note that the box or label may display US or EU sizing which can differ from the UK size. If the fit is truly wrong, initiate a return for the correct size.
Suede appears dull or marked
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth or brush, following product instructions. Ensure the suede is completely dry before brushing.
Soles are slippery
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists after cleaning, the outsole may be worn down and may require replacement or consideration of a new pair if significantly degraded.
