FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
The Handball Spezial are inspired by vintage sports shoes and are best suited for casual wear. While they offer good grip and comfort for everyday activities, they are not designed for high-intensity athletic performance or professional sports.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Please refer to the UK sizing provided. Note that the shoe box or label might display equivalent US or European sizes, which can differ. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers. This can damage the suede material and the overall structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of natural rubber, which provides durability and good traction.
Is the insole removable?
The product information does not specify if the insole is removable. For cleaning, it is recommended to spot clean the insole as it is.
How do I care for the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
What does 'Spezial' mean in the name?
'Spezial' is a German word that translates to 'Special'. It often indicates a specific or iconic model within the adidas line, particularly those with a heritage or retro design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner product and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with socks for a few hours to allow the suede to mold to your foot. You can also try using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace the laces with a new pair of suitable length and color. You can purchase replacement laces from most shoe retailers or online.
Rubber sole is dirty
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
