FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a `regular fit`. Most users find them true to their usual adidas shoe size. If you are unsure, it's recommended to consult an adidas size chart for precise measurements.

Can I wear these trainers for sports activities?

These trainers are inspired by a classic handball shoe but are designed for casual, everyday wear and style rather than performance sports. For intense athletic activities, specialized sports footwear is recommended to provide appropriate support and protection.

How do I protect the suede material from water and stains?

To protect the suede, apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This creates a protective barrier that helps repel water and resist stains.

What is the material of the shoe's lining?

The trainers feature a comfortable synthetic lining, which contributes to the overall pleasant feel during wear.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Handball Spezial is designed with a classic, low-profile sole characteristic of retro trainers, offering standard casual footwear support. For specific arch support needs, you may consider adding aftermarket insoles.

How do I clean the rubber outsole?

The durable rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the grooves. Rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, then gently blot with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water. Allow to air dry.

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot for a comfortable and secure fit. The `regular fit` should accommodate most foot shapes, but if persistent discomfort occurs, double-check your sizing against an adidas size chart.

Outsole lacks grip on wet surfaces.

While the durable rubber outsole provides good general traction, exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, not specialized sports performance in extreme wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers come ready to wear. Simply lace up the shoes to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. Adjust the laces evenly across your foot for optimal comfort and support. Ensure the tongue is centered and the heel is securely seated.

Compatibility

These trainers feature a `regular fit` and are designed for adults. The UK 3 size is suitable for adult feet in that sizing standard. They are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses, making them a staple for everyday style.

Care

The premium suede upper requires specific attention to maintain its quality and appearance. Proper care will extend the life of your trainers and keep them looking their best.

  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher marks or stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and a small amount of suede cleaner, then gently dab the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking the suede, as excessive moisture can damage the material. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Protection: Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This will create a protective barrier against water and stains, helping to preserve the suede's integrity.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
