FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and are not intended for distance running or high-impact athletic training.

What is the best way to clean the suede areas?

Use a dedicated suede eraser and a soft brush; avoid getting the suede overly wet, as this can cause water spots.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing; if you typically wear a UK 8.5 in other adidas lifestyle models, you should find a consistent fit here.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.

How do I protect them from rain?

Apply a high-quality leather and suede protector spray at least 24 hours before your first wear to provide a barrier against water and minor spills.

Troubleshooting

Material shows surface dust or light dirt

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the upper material to restore the texture.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.

Difficulty maintaining bright color appearance

Keep shoes away from direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods and store them in a cool, dark place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since they feature suede or leather elements, it is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray before first use to prevent staining. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a specialized sneaker cleaner for deeper stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the material integrity and shape. Ensure you check the sizing carefully, as these trainers adhere to standard adult UK sizing metrics.
