FAQs

Are these suitable for running?

No, the adidas Handball Spezial are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for intense athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the pink suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.

What is the benefit of OrthoLite® sockliners?

OrthoLite® sockliners provide enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to all-day comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as moisture can damage and stain the material.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size for most users, offering a standard width. It's always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible.

What does 'Spezial' mean?

'Spezial' is German for 'special' and refers to a line of adidas shoes that often draw inspiration from vintage sports designs, particularly handball.

How do the 3-Stripes stay on?

The 3-Stripes are typically stitched or bonded securely to the upper material to ensure durability and aesthetic integrity.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water.

Laces become worn or dirty

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild soap and water, then air dry.

Reduced grip on the sole

Ensure the gum rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For worn-down soles, professional repair or replacement might be considered, though this is uncommon for typical wear.
