FAQs

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use. They offer good traction but may not provide the specialized support and durability required for intense athletic play.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

You can clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be effective.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to put suede trainers in a washing machine as it can damage the material and alter the shape of the shoe.

What is the best way to care for the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a soft brush to remove dust and maintain its texture. Use a suede protector spray to shield against water and stains, and spot-clean any marks with a dedicated suede cleaner.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally offers an accommodating fit with a sleek silhouette. It's advised to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can be subjective.

What does 'Spezial' mean?

Spezial is a German word meaning 'special.' In the context of adidas, it often refers to a line of footwear that was originally designed for specific sports but has since become popular as lifestyle or casual wear.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It's also advisable to keep them in their original box or a shoe bag.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and ensure they are adjusted properly. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists after breaking in, consider a different size or model.

Gum sole has scuff marks

Gently scrub scuff marks with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
