FAQs
How do I properly clean the suede on my Handball Spezial trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or liquid suede cleaner (applied according to product instructions) can be effective. Always avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
Are these trainers true to size?
Adidas Handball Spezial trainers generally fit true to size for most wearers. However, foot shape can vary, so it's always recommended to consult the official Adidas size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I wear my Handball Spezial trainers in the rain?
While durable, the suede material is sensitive to water and prolonged exposure can cause staining or damage. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain and to apply a water-resistant suede protector spray for light moisture protection.
What are the extra laces for?
The included extra pair of laces allows you to customize the look of your trainers or serve as a replacement if your original laces become worn or damaged. It offers versatility in styling.
Are these suitable for playing sports?
Originally designed for handball, today's Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are primarily considered lifestyle footwear. While comfortable for everyday casual wear, they are not optimized for high-intensity sports performance or specialized athletic activities.
How can I prevent scuffs or marks on the suede?
Regularly applying a suede protector spray can help create a barrier against minor scuffs and stains. Additionally, gentle handling and avoiding abrasive surfaces will preserve the suede's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the entire surface with a suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner following product instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Laces are worn or broken
Utilize the included extra pair of laces to refresh your trainers' look and functionality. If replacements are needed in the future, standard flat shoe laces of appropriate length can be purchased.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The high-quality suede and thick gum sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet. Cushioning will become more responsive over time.
Trainers are discolored from water exposure
Allow the trainers to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush with a suede brush to try and restore the nap. For severe water stains, a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede may be required. Prevent future damage with a water repellent spray.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Suede Material Care: Requires specific cleaning and protection to maintain its appearance and avoid water damage.

Setup
Getting started with your Adidas Handball Spezial trainers is straightforward:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove your trainers from their packaging.
- Lacing: The trainers come pre-laced. If you wish to use the extra pair of laces, simply unlace the existing ones and re-lace with the new pair. Experiment with different lacing styles for a personalized look.
Compatibility
- Footwear: Designed for adults, specifically indicated for females in UK size 6 for this specific variant, but the Spezial range is widely popular across all genders.
- Outfit: These trainers are highly compatible with casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and even some casual dresses or skirts.
- Environment: Best suited for dry, urban environments. The suede material is not ideal for very wet or muddy conditions.
Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the suede material and extending the life of your Handball Spezial trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps protect against moisture and spills.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
