FAQs

What material are the Adidas Handball Spezial trainers made from?

The trainers feature a premium suede upper for comfort and durability, a cushioned footbed, and a robust gum sole.

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?

While historically inspired by handball, their current design and materials are best suited for casual wear and lifestyle activities rather than professional sports.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow suede to air dry and avoid excessive moisture.

Does the gum sole provide good grip?

Yes, the robust gum sole is designed to provide excellent traction and grip on various surfaces.

Can I customize the look of my trainers?

Yes, the trainers come with an extra pair of laces, allowing for easy style customization.

What sizes are available?

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede material is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to protect the suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush away dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a pencil eraser. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Gum sole is scuffed

Try using a magic eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of non-gel toothpaste to gently buff out scuff marks. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards.

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider a professional shoe stretching service. The suede may also relax slightly with wear.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with the extra pair provided or purchase new laces of a similar material and length.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth may be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
  2. Gum Sole: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuff marks. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Laces: The laces can be removed and washed separately by hand or in a gentle machine cycle. Allow them to dry completely before re-inserting.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
