FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

While originally an indoor court shoe, the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial is now primarily designed for casual wear and style, not high-performance modern athletic activities. For sports, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for those purposes.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to treat your suede trainers with a quality suede and nubuck protector spray before their first wear. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Are these trainers true to size?

Adidas Originals footwear generally fits true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to go up to the next half size for comfort, especially with suede materials.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, you should never put suede shoes in a washing machine. The water, agitation, and detergents can severely damage the suede, causing it to shrink, stiffen, or lose its color. Always follow manual cleaning instructions for suede.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to protect the shoe's lining, wear socks that are appropriate for your activity level. Casual cotton or blended socks are generally suitable for everyday wear. The synthetic lining helps reduce friction.

Is the 'Earth Strata' color truly brown?

Yes, 'Earth Strata' is a specific shade of brown, often characterized by its warm, earthy tones. It's designed to be a versatile and classic brown, complemented by the Off White 3-Stripes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Gently brush the affected area with a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper marks, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Always brush in the direction of the nap.

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.

Adidas shoes typically fit true to size, but some materials like suede can feel snug at first. Wear them for short periods around the house to gently break them in. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. You can also try loosening the laces.

Gum sole shows reduced grip or looks discolored.

Clean the gum rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris that can reduce grip. For discoloration, a gentle scrub with an old toothbrush might help. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Care Instructions

Given the suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain the look and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material.
  5. Drying: If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
