FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions to prevent staining and damage to the material. A suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.

How do I choose the correct size?

These trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers. The harshness of a washing machine can damage the suede and alter the shoe's structure. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning methods.

What does 'gum rubber outsole' mean?

A gum rubber outsole refers to the natural rubber material used for the sole. It is known for its excellent grip, flexibility, and distinctive brown, semi-transparent appearance, providing firm traction.

Is the synthetic lining comfortable?

Yes, the synthetic lining is designed to provide a snug and comfortable fit. It helps to secure your foot and will adapt slightly over time for enhanced comfort during wear.

What occasions are these trainers best for?

The Handball Spezial trainers are ideal for casual wear, urban exploration, and social gatherings. Their iconic design makes them a versatile choice for styling with everyday outfits.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture. For stubborn areas, use a suede eraser.

Trainers feel too snug or uncomfortable initially

The synthetic lining and suede upper will soften and conform to your foot over a few wears. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly.

Outsole lacks expected grip

Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, dirt, or mud, which can reduce traction. A quick wipe with a damp cloth (avoiding the suede) can help restore grip. If the surface itself is unusually slick, exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Wear & Setup

When you first receive your adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers, simply untie them, slip your foot in, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, snug fit. There is no special 'setup' required. The synthetic lining will gradually conform to your foot for enhanced comfort over time.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are perfect for:

Casual Outfits: Jeans, chinos, shorts, track pants.
Urban & Streetwear Styles: Complements a relaxed, fashion-forward look.
Everyday Wear: Ideal for daily errands, social events, or light city walking.

Due to their suede upper, they are best suited for dry conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet environments to protect the material.

Care Instructions

Caring for your suede Handball Spezial trainers is crucial to maintaining their appearance and longevity.

Regular Cleaning:

Use a soft brush (like a suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush) to gently brush off any loose dirt or dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
For tougher spots, use a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) to gently rub away marks.
Avoid water and harsh chemicals as they can stain or damage suede.

Stain Removal:

For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
Allow wet stains to air dry completely, then use a suede brush to restore the nap.
For oil-based stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain, let it sit for a few hours (or overnight), then brush it off.

Protection:

Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first. This creates a barrier against water and stains.

Storage:

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape when not in use.

Following these care tips will help keep your Handball Spezial trainers looking fresh for longer.
