FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for all-weather conditions?

The adidas Handball Spezial features a suede upper, which is sensitive to water. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's integrity and appearance. Consider using a protective spray.

How do I clean the suede material?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they get wet.

Do these shoes come with extra laces?

Yes, this style includes an extra pair of laces, allowing you to switch up your style or replace worn laces.

Are these shoes true to size?

Based on typical adidas sizing for this series, they generally fit true to size. If you are unsure, you might want to try them on or consult adidas' official sizing guide for the Handball Spezial range. This specific model is a UK size 11.

Can I use these trainers for sports or athletic activities?

While originating from handball, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. Its construction offers comfort and durability for everyday use, but it's not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

What makes the gum sole special?

The thick gum sole is a signature feature of the Handball Spezial, providing not only a distinct classic aesthetic but also excellent traction and durability for daily wear on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in a single direction to smooth out fibers.

Visible dirt or light stains on the suede.

Use a suede eraser (or clean pencil eraser) to gently rub away the dirt. For general dust, a suede brush is effective.

Suede has hardened or become stiff after getting wet.

Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to soften the fibers and restore its texture.

Gum sole has lost some grip or looks dirty.

Clean the gum sole with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. For improved grip on smooth surfaces, ensure the soles are free of dirt and debris.

Laces are worn or broken.

Replace the laces with the extra pair provided or purchase new laces of a similar style and length.

Care Instructions

Caring for suede footwear requires attention to detail to preserve its texture and color.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a reputable suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) with light pressure.
  1. Stain Removal:
  • For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing.
  • For dried mud or dirt, allow it to dry completely, then gently brush it off.
  1. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can stiffen or crack the suede.
  2. Storage: Store your Handball Spezials in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
  3. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If exposure is unavoidable, follow the drying instructions above.

By following these care steps, you can significantly extend the life and appearance of your adidas Handball Spezial Suede Trainers.
