FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, gently use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the suede.
Will these trainers fit wide feet?
The trainers are listed as a 'regular fit,' which typically suits average width feet. If you have particularly wide feet, trying them on or checking detailed measurements is recommended.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from natural rubber, providing good grip and durability for everyday use.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What does 'Handball Spezial' mean?
'Handball Spezial' refers to the 'special' or signature models originally designed for the sport of handball by adidas.
How do I check if the size is correct before buying?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer and compare it with your foot measurements. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as box or label sizes may differ from UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner.
Laces are worn out
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. Many sports or shoe stores carry replacements.
Outsole shows minor wear
Ensure the shoes are not used for high-impact sports. Clean the outsole regularly to prevent debris buildup that can accelerate wear.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Wear with appropriate socks.
