FAQs

How do I best clean the pink suede?

For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions, ensuring you test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from heat.

Are adidas Handball Spezial shoes true to size?

Most users find adidas Handball Spezial shoes to fit true to size. It's recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both for comfort.

What is the primary material of these shoes?

The upper of these specific adidas Handball Spezial trainers is crafted from premium suede, offering a soft texture and classic look. The sole is typically rubber for durability and grip.

How can I protect my suede shoes from stains?

Before wearing, apply a good quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or if the shoes are frequently exposed to outdoor elements.

What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are excellent for daily outings, social events, and light walking. They are not intended for high-performance sports or heavy athletic activities.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

While generally comfortable from the start, some new shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to conform to your feet for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap back into place. Brush in one direction to smooth the fibers.

Shoes are stained or dirty

For dry dirt, use a suede brush to gently remove. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Color appears faded or dull

Ensure proper cleaning and protection. Exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods can fade color; store in a cool, dry place away from light when not in use. A suede revitalizer spray might help for minor fading.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially

Allow for a short break-in period during initial wears. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider checking the sizing or lacing adjustment.

Unpleasant odor develops inside shoes

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (then vacuum out) to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Care

The suede material requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.

  1. Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  2. Cleaning:
  • Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a suede cleaner or eraser. Apply according to the product's instructions, working gently on the affected area. Avoid excessive rubbing.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  1. Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture if worn frequently.
  • Avoid storing in plastic bags, as suede needs to breathe.
  1. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which can damage the suede.
