FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

While stylish, the Handball Spezial trainers have a sporty aesthetic and are best suited for casual and athletic wear, rather than formal events.

How do I clean the white sole and accents?

The rubber sole and white accents can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning.

What is the primary use case for these trainers?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear, casual outings, and light sports activities for children.

How durable is the suede material?

Suede is a durable material when properly cared for. However, it is more susceptible to water damage and stains than synthetic materials, requiring specific cleaning methods.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The shoes provide standard cushioning and a comfortable fit. For children requiring significant arch support, consider adding custom insoles.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as the material can be easily damaged by water and stains. They are best suited for dry conditions.

How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your child's foot. It's advisable to consider the typical fit of adidas shoes and leave a small amount of growing room.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty after wear

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied with a secure double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or waxed pair that offers better grip.

Suede material looks matted or worn

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. Brush in different directions to lift and revitalize the fibres.

Slight odor inside the shoes

Remove the insoles (if possible) and air the shoes out thoroughly. Using a shoe deodorizer spray or placing baking soda inside overnight can also help neutralize odors.
