FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers?
The upper is primarily constructed from suede, with leather accents and the iconic 3-Stripes.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear. They may not offer the specialized support and performance features required for competitive handball.
How should I clean the animal pattern on the trainers?
The animal pattern is part of the suede material. Clean using a suede brush for dust and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, following the product's instructions.
What does 'Cold Cement Construction' mean?
This refers to the method of attaching the outsole to the upper using adhesive at a lower temperature. It means the shoe cannot be re-soled by traditional cobblers.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining. It's best to protect them from rain and heavy moisture.
What size range are these trainers available in?
They are available in adult women's sizes, with the specific example provided being a UK size 8.5.
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The trainers feature a textile sockliner for comfort, but they are primarily fashion trainers and do not offer specialized arch support for athletic performance. For individuals needing significant arch support, consider using custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For stubborn stains, test a cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow the suede to dry naturally away from heat.
Laces are worn or dirty
Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately or replaced with new ones. Ensure replacement laces match the original length and style if desired.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. If the issue persists, the rubber may have become polished over time; consider using a grip-enhancing product specifically designed for shoe soles.
