FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Generally, adidas Handball Spezial trainers are considered true to size for UK footwear. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather offers some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to enhance water repellency, but avoid heavy rain to preserve the leather and color.

What's the best way to clean the pink leather?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for colored leather, applied with a soft cloth or brush. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these suitable for sports or athletic activities?

Despite their heritage, the adidas Handball Spezial are now primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion trainers. They are comfortable for everyday wear but are not intended for high-performance sports or intense athletic activities.

How should I store these trainers to maintain their shape?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases and odors.

Will the pink color fade over time?

Like most colored materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Following the care instructions, especially regarding storage and cleaning, will help maintain the vibrancy of the pink color.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or is cracking.

Apply a specialized leather conditioner to moisturize and restore flexibility. Repeat periodically.

Stains or scuffs on the pink leather.

Immediately spot clean with a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth, following the cleaner's instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers.

Air out the trainers thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing sachets (e.g., baking soda in a sock) overnight.

Soles feel slippery or are losing grip.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt and debris. If the tread is significantly worn, the grip will naturally diminish over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no special setup beyond fitting them to your feet. They are compatible with standard athletic or casual socks and pair well with a wide range of casual attire. To maintain the vibrant pink leather and extend the life of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a quality leather protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  4. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  5. Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole and sidewalls with a mild soap and water solution, using a brush to remove grime.
  6. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  7. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
