FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of suede, providing a classic and stylish look.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of natural rubber, designed for durability and grip.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-performance running due to a lack of specialized cushioning and support.
How should I clean the suede material?
For best results, use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive moisture on the suede.
What does 'Handball Spezial' refer to?
Handball Spezial is a classic adidas shoe model, originally designed for handball players, now popular as a lifestyle trainer.
Does the sizing run true?
While designed for a regular fit, it's recommended to check the specific size guide or try them on if possible, as some users find sizing can vary.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The suede upper is best kept dry to maintain its appearance. While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended for the suede.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the material will stretch with wear.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. The natural rubber can become slick on very smooth or wet surfaces. If the issue persists and the shoes are new, break them in on varied surfaces.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair. Ensure the new laces are of a suitable length and material for the trainers.
