FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Junior is made of soft and durable suede.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or physical activity?

While originally designed for handball, these junior trainers are now optimized for casual, everyday wear. Their design focuses on comfort and classic style rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede on these shoes?

For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What does the 'T-toe construction' mean?

The T-toe construction refers to the distinctive T-shaped overlay on the toe area of the shoe, a classic design element that enhances durability and contributes to the shoe's retro look.

Are these shoes true to size?

The shoes feature a 'regular fit'. For best comfort, we recommend checking the size guide if available and considering your usual adidas shoe size.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and become damaged. It's best to avoid heavy rain or snow, and consider using a water-repellent spray designed for suede if light moisture exposure is unavoidable.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Gently clean with a brush designed for suede or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. For scuffs, use a suede eraser.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the lace closure to find your optimal comfort. Ensure you are wearing socks of appropriate thickness. Verify the size is correct for your foot.

Slipping on smooth surfaces.

While the gum rubber outsole offers dependable traction, ensure the sole is clean of any debris. If the issue persists on specific exceptionally slick surfaces, exercise caution.
