FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Handball Spezial trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and features required for intense running.

How do I maintain the suede material?

Use a suede brush regularly to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small area first. Protect from excessive moisture.

What is the Torsion system for?

The Torsion system provides midfoot support and stability, allowing the shoe to adapt to the ground and enhance the wearer's natural movement.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the suede material and the shoe's construction.

How does the ADIPRENE+ cushioning work?

ADIPRENE+ is an đàn hồi EVA foam that provides forefoot cushioning, offering comfort and energy return with every step.

What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other Adidas trainers?

The Handball Spezial is known for its retro handball-inspired design, featuring premium suede uppers and a focus on casual comfort and vintage aesthetics, distinguishing it from more performance-oriented or modern athletic shoe designs.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming discolored or stained.

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.

This is normal wear and tear. Ensure you are not using the shoes for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., high-impact sports). Clean the insoles to refresh the feel.

Difficulty finding the right size.

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for Handball Spezial models. If possible, try the shoes on in person, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Traction on the outsole seems to be decreasing.

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Inspect for excessive wear and consider replacement if the tread is significantly worn down.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth may be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage the suede.
