FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
The Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are inspired by sports footwear and are suitable for light activities like casual handball, walking, or daily wear. They are not designed for high-impact professional sports that require extensive ankle support.
What material are the Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers made of?
These trainers primarily feature a leather upper and a textile interior. The outsole is typically made of rubber for traction.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
Do these trainers come in different colors?
While this guide focuses on the Grey Four/Off White/Grey Six colorway, the Handball Spezial series is often available in various color options. Please check the product listings for available colors.
What is the main benefit of the low-cut silhouette?
The low-cut silhouette allows for maximum freedom of movement around the ankle, contributing to comfort during daily wear and light activities. It also facilitates easier on-and-off.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. The product is available in UK adult sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length to find the best fit, considering the trainers are designed for a snug, athletic feel.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a water-repellent treatment can offer additional protection against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring they are not tied too tightly. Wearing them for short periods can help break them in. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed.
Soles are slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly worn soles, replacement might be necessary. Worn-out soles can lose their grip over time.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for footwear. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the leather. Ensure the product is suitable for the trainer's specific leather type.
Discoloration on the upper
Identify the cause of discoloration. If it's dirt, clean with a damp cloth. If it's from UV exposure, try to store them away from direct light. For color transfer from socks, use appropriate shoe cleaners.
