FAQs
How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?
Always refer to the UK sizing listed. The product packaging might display US or EU sizing, which are different. It's best to try the trainers on indoors to confirm fit before wearing them outside.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of suede, offering a classic look and feel.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed more for casual wear and style. For professional or intensive handball play, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is recommended. Avoid machine washing.
What type of outsole do these trainers have?
They feature a natural rubber outsole, which provides good durability and grip.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While the rubber outsole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the suede. Using a suede protector spray is advisable.
What does 'Spezial' mean in the product name?
'Spezial' is a German word meaning 'special'. In the context of adidas, it often refers to iconic or classic models, particularly those with roots in sports like handball.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Verify the UK size against the size chart. Remember that the box or label might show US or Euro sizing, which differs from UK sizing. Try them on indoors before use.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the material.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Excessive wear on the outsole may naturally reduce traction over time.
