FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

adidas Handball Spezial trainers generally fit true to size for most users. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the suede material is durable, it is not waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray to repel water and stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage and staining.

How do I clean the white 3-Stripes?

The 3-Stripes are smooth and can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the stripes, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Avoid getting too much water on the suede.

Are these suitable for sports or running?

The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, not for performance sports or running. Their low-profile design is best suited for everyday wear and light walking.

What is the gum sole made of?

The gum sole is typically made of natural rubber. This material is known for its excellent grip, durability, and distinctive translucent, brownish appearance, which is a hallmark of classic trainers.

Is the Grey color prone to showing dirt?

Like any lighter colored suede, the grey color may show dirt and scuffs more visibly than darker shades. Regular cleaning and application of a protective spray will help maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers.

Water spots or stains on suede

Allow the trainers to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp clean cloth to gently rub the stain. For stubborn spots, consider a specialized suede cleaner.

Scuff marks on the gum sole

Wipe the gum sole with a clean cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or specialized sole cleaner can be effective.

Unpleasant odor from trainers

Remove insoles if possible and air out the trainers. Sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The adidas Handball Spezial Trainers require no complex setup. Simply unbox and wear. For optimal comfort, ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly.

Compatibility:

These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing. They pair well with:

Jeans and denim
Chinos and casual trousers
Shorts
Casual skirts and dresses
Sporty and classic tracksuits

Care & Maintenance:

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers.

Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
Regular Cleaning:

Use a suede brush (nylon or brass bristles) to gently brush off loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Always brush in one direction.
For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a soft, clean cloth dampened with a specialized suede cleaner. Blot, do not rub aggressively.

Stain Removal: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For oil-based stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let it sit for a few hours, then brush off.
Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put suede trainers in a dryer.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain shape.
