Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for kids who want a blend of heritage sports style and everyday comfort. Originally engineered in the 1970s for indoor court sports, these iconic shoes have transitioned into a versatile streetwear staple suitable for school, play, and casual outings. While they offer a sleek, premium look with a durable rubber gum outsole, parents should note that the leather upper requires regular maintenance to keep them looking their best during active play.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the rubber outsole. Always clean by hand.
Can these be used for indoor gym class?
Yes, as they were originally designed for indoor court sports, they provide excellent grip on wooden or synthetic gym floors.
Does the size fit true to standard children's sizing?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK children's sizing. We recommend checking your child's current measurement against the size guide before purchasing.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or deep puddles to protect the material.
What is the primary material used?
This specific model features a high-quality leather upper paired with a rubber gum outsole.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Double-knot the laces or swap for elastic no-tie laces if the child struggles with traditional knots.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out superficial marks.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small stones lodged in the grooves and clean with a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup; simply loosen the laces to accommodate the child's foot and secure them for a snug fit. To maintain the leather upper, wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For tougher scuffs, use a leather-safe cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and weaken the adhesive on the outsole. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple color from fading.
