FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle use. They may not provide the necessary support and durability for competitive sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Avoid getting the shoes excessively wet.
What is the main benefit of the suede upper?
The suede upper provides a soft, comfortable feel for all-day wear and contributes to the shoe's premium aesthetic.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot for the most accurate fit.
Can adults wear these shoes?
These are listed as 'GS' (Grade School), generally intended for children. However, the unisex design and style might appeal to adults with smaller feet. It's crucial to check the size chart to see if a suitable adult equivalent size is available or if your foot size matches the available children's sizes.
What does the 'SPEZIAL' branding signify?
SPEZIAL is a range from adidas Originals that revives classic archival sport designs, particularly from the 70s and 80s, offering them for contemporary casual wear.
How do I care for the rubber outsole?
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing them.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the instructions precisely.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the sizing chart.
Rubbing or discomfort on heel/toe
Ensure socks are worn. If discomfort persists, consider insoles or check if the sizing is correct. New shoes may require a short break-in period.
