FAQs
Are the Handball Spezial trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and offer a classic style rather than modern athletic performance features.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid washing or excessive moisture.
What is the best way to maintain the colour of the trainers?
Store them away from direct sunlight and use a suede protector spray to help preserve the colour and material.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. A protective spray can offer some water resistance.
What does 'Spezial' mean in the name?
'Spezial' is German for 'special' and was originally used by Adidas for a line of athletic shoes, including handball and indoor soccer models, that were considered premium or specialized for their sport.
How true to size are the Handball Spezial trainers?
Sizing can vary slightly. It is generally recommended to consult sizing charts and, if possible, try them on before purchasing to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The primary material for the upper is typically suede, with rubber for the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult specialized suede cleaning guides.
Laces are worn or discolored.
Replace laces with a new pair. Standard shoelaces are compatible.
Discomfort during prolonged wear.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break-in periods may be needed for new shoes. Consider adding thin insoles for minor cushioning adjustments.
Colour transfer to socks.
This can sometimes occur with darker dyes, especially when new or wet. Wash socks separately and allow the shoes to air out thoroughly before extended wear.
