FAQs

What are the Adidas Handball Spezial trainers made of?

They feature a combination of leather and synthetic materials for the upper and a durable rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and light activity, not for competitive athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede in water.

What is the fit like?

These trainers have a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for most wearers when properly laced.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

What does 'archive-inspired' mean for this design?

It means the design takes cues and inspiration from historical Adidas shoe models, particularly those from handball courts of the past, and updates them with modern construction and details.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to Adidas's official sizing charts and measure your foot. The provided size is a UK 8 adult male.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are worn or dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the shoes are properly laced for a snug but not tight fit. Break them in with short periods of wear before engaging in prolonged activity. Check for any internal debris or seams causing irritation.

Reduced grip on sole

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that might be affecting traction.
