Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are a quintessential choice for individuals seeking a blend of vintage aesthetic and everyday comfort. Designed for both kids and adults, these trainers feature a signature gum sole and high-quality suede construction that provides durability for daily wear. While their timeless silhouette makes them a versatile addition to any wardrobe, the suede material requires careful maintenance to preserve the finish against moisture and dirt.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to your standard UK size, though those with wider feet may prefer sizing up by half a size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the gum sole bond. Always hand clean with appropriate products.

Are these suitable for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are now marketed primarily as lifestyle trainers. They are suitable for light activity but lack the technical support found in modern specialized court shoes.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Use a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede footwear.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is largely unisex, fitting both male and female foot profiles, provided you select the correct size.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush in a back-and-forth motion to lift the nap and restore the texture.

Gum sole has minor scuffs

Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap to lift surface-level dirt.

Difficulty keeping laces tied

Replace standard laces with textured cotton laces or use a double knot to increase friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile, timeless aesthetic suitable for various outfits
  • High-quality suede material feels premium
  • Excellent cushioning for long-term comfort
  • Durable construction with reinforced heel and robust sole

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to water and oil stains
  • Light colorways may show dirt more easily
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on or lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. To ensure compatibility, verify your specific UK size, as the series covers both adult and child sizing. For care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the suede.
  2. Stain Removal: Use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner for localized spots.
  3. Protection: Apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before initial wear to guard against moisture.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading.
