FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
No, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle fashion. While they offer good traction, they are not engineered for the demands of sports, running, or intensive athletic activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers typically fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. The synthetic lining is designed for a snug fit.
Is the leather water-resistant?
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. For enhanced protection against rain and stains, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray regularly.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these leather trainers as it can damage the material, adhesives, and overall structure. Please follow the manual care instructions for cleaning.
How often should I clean the trainers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For everyday use, a quick wipe-down after each wear and a more thorough cleaning every few weeks or once a month is generally sufficient to keep them looking their best.
What is the difference between leather and suede variants?
This specific product features a premium leather upper, which typically offers a smoother finish and can be slightly more water-resistant than suede. Suede variants have a softer, napped texture and require different care, often needing specialized suede cleaners and brushes. Both materials contribute to the classic Handball Spezial look.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks or minor damage on the leather upper
For light scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair cream. For deeper marks, a professional shoe repair service may be required.
Slippery outsole despite being gum rubber
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean. Accumulated dirt and debris can reduce traction. Use a brush and mild soap to thoroughly clean the treads.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers
Remove insoles (if removable) and air out the trainers in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers dry completely after wear.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for trainers.
- Apply cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions.
- Wipe off any excess cleaner with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Gum Rubber Outsole:
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap-and-water solution to scrub away dirt and grime from the outsole.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Protection:
- Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying:
- If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature.
- Storage:
- Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
- Avoid:
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes on the leather.
