Product Information
Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for active kids who want a blend of 1970s heritage style and modern durability. These trainers offer a premium leather feel and a reliable grip, making them suitable for everything from school days to weekend play; however, as they feature a gum rubber sole, they are best suited for flat, hard surfaces rather than rugged outdoor terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While they are inspired by handball shoes, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They are excellent for casual activity and school, but may lack the specialized support of modern high-performance athletic gear.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
The Handball Spezial trainers follow standard UK children's sizing. We recommend measuring the child's foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally fitted for the shoe's structure. If you need to use orthotics, ensure they fit within the regular width of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not waterproof. They are best worn in dry conditions.
How do I keep the pink color bright?
Keep them out of direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use to prevent the color from fading.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during play
Double-knot the laces or swap them for slightly longer laces if the current length does not allow for a secure double knot.
Visible scuffs on the leather upper
Use a leather conditioner or a matching pink shoe polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Outsole losing its grip due to debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any stones or dried mud lodged in the gum rubber tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, start by loosening the laces fully to prevent straining the material when slipping them on for the first time. For ongoing care, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use a specialized leather cleaner periodically to maintain suppleness. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
