FAQs
Are these suitable for professional handball players?
While inspired by handball shoes, the low-cut design and textile upper are best suited for casual play or everyday wear rather than professional, high-impact competition which may require more ankle support and specialized features.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of textile, offering breathability and a lightweight feel.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing guide available for Adidas footwear.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The textile upper is not waterproof, so these trainers are best avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent discomfort and potential damage.
What is the main advantage of the low-cut design?
The low-cut silhouette provides maximum freedom of movement for the ankle, contributing to comfort during casual activities.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For embedded dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The shoes provide basic cushioning and support suitable for casual wear. For users requiring significant arch support, insoles or orthotics may be added.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to break in and mold to your feet.
Laces come undone frequently.
Try a different lacing knot (e.g., a double knot) or consider replacing the laces with a pair that offers better grip.
Dirt or stains on the textile upper.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized textile cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up using the provided normal lacing system to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied snugly but not too tight to avoid restricting circulation.
Compatibility:
The Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel. They are best suited for dry conditions and indoor surfaces due to their materials.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
