FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good grip for everyday activities, they are not specialized for high-impact sports or competitive running.
How do I clean the brown suede material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the main difference between junior and adult Handball Spezial models?
The junior models are sized specifically for children and may have slight variations in materials or construction compared to adult versions, while maintaining the classic aesthetic.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the material can be easily damaged and stained. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What does 'Spezial' mean?
'Spezial' is German for 'special'. The Handball Spezial was originally released as a specialized handball shoe and has since become a popular lifestyle model.
What type of socks are best with these trainers?
Ankle socks or crew socks that complement the retro style work well. Ensure socks are clean to avoid transferring color to the inside of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a pencil eraser. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size was purchased; refer to the sizing guide if necessary.
Soles feel slippery
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris that might be affecting traction. Suede shoes are generally best suited for dry conditions.
