FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports or intense physical activity?

While inspired by original handball shoes, the adidas Originals Womens Handball Spezial Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, offering comfort and style for everyday use rather than high-performance sports.

How should I clean the suede material of these trainers?

To clean, gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. It's also recommended to use a suede protector spray before wearing them and periodically thereafter.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent suede protector spray to help guard against moisture and stains from light rain.

What is the fit like for the Handball Spezial trainers?

These trainers feature a regular fit with a lace closure, allowing for adjustments to achieve a comfortable and reliable fit for most foot shapes. You can customize the lacing to suit your comfort preference.

What kind of outsole do these trainers have?

The trainers are equipped with a durable rubber outsole. This provides reliable traction and wear resistance, making them suitable for various urban surfaces during daily activities.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or has surface dirt.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off dry dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.

Trainers feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened or loosened across the instep for optimal comfort and a secure, personalized fit.

Suede material gets wet or stained.

Immediately blot any excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff the trainers with paper to absorb water and maintain shape, then allow to air dry completely. Once dry, treat any remaining stains with a suede cleaner and reapply protector spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your adidas Originals Womens Handball Spezial Trainers feature a traditional lace closure system. To achieve the best fit, first unlace the trainers sufficiently to comfortably insert your foot. Then, systematically tighten the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring an even tension across the instep. This provides a snug yet comfortable fit that can be adjusted to your preference.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and designed to complement a broad spectrum of casual and smart-casual ensembles. They are an excellent match for:

  • Casual Looks: Pair them with jeans, shorts, or track pants for an effortlessly cool and relaxed vibe.
  • Smart-Casual Attire: Combine with chinos, tailored trousers, or even a midi skirt to introduce a sporty, retro edge to a more polished outfit.
  • Athleisure: Integrate them into your athleisure wardrobe for comfortable and stylish daily wear.

Care

To ensure your suede trainers retain their pristine appearance and extend their lifespan, follow these specific care instructions:

  • Initial Protection: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions to guard against water and stains.
  • Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off any dry dirt or dust using a specialized suede brush. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  • Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks or stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth and follow the product manufacturer's guidelines carefully.
  • Drying: If your trainers become wet, stuff them lightly with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the suede.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or crumpled paper inside will help them retain their original shape and prevent creasing.
