FAQs

Are the Handball Spezial trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by a sports shoe, the Handball Spezial is best suited for casual wear and everyday activities. They are not designed for high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on most reputable shoe retailer websites. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. The UK 4.5 is a specific measurement; consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers as it can damage the material and the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Regularly brush off dust and light dirt after each wear. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when stains appear or the material looks soiled.

What is the main difference between the Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?

The Handball Spezial features a distinct suede construction and a Gum sole, with a silhouette rooted in its handball heritage. This gives it a classic, retro look compared to more modern athletic designs.

Do these trainers come in other colours?

The Handball Spezial model is available in various colourways. This guide specifically details the Core Black/Off White/Gum variant.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole is scuffed or marked

Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the surrounding material.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
