adidas Handball Spezial Scarlet Gum - Trainers - UK 4

The primary materials are a suede upper, textile lining, and a rubber outsole.

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and may not offer the advanced performance features required for competitive sports.

Apply a suede protector spray before wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and sole construction.

It is generally recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart. For suede shoes, a snug fit is often preferred as the material can stretch slightly over time.

The 'Gum Sole' refers to the outsole made from a durable, light-brown rubber compound that offers good traction and a classic aesthetic.

Allow the suede to dry completely. Brush gently with a suede brush to restore the nap and even out the color. Ensure you used a cleaner specifically designed for suede.

This is a characteristic of gum rubber soles. It is recommended to clean the soles after wear, especially if they have been in contact with dusty or oily surfaces.

Replace laces with new ones of similar material and length. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
