FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it will damage the suede material and affect the structure of the shoe.

What age group are these trainers for?

This specific size is designed for infants and children.

Are the Handball Spezials good for running?

While they are comfortable for general play and walking, they are classified as casual lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated running shoes.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede before the first use and reapply periodically.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, but it is always recommended to measure your child's feet as fit can vary between models.

Can I remove the insoles?

The insoles are generally fitted to the shoe's construction, and removing them may impact the intended fit and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede surface looking dusty or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material by brushing in one direction.

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap them for slightly textured laces that provide more grip.

Scuff marks on the rubber sole

Use a white pencil eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the rubber edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable rubber outsole provides excellent grip for active kids
  • Soft suede material offers comfort and a premium aesthetic
  • Timeless design fits well with both casual and formal outfits
  • Secure lace closure ensures the shoes stay in place during play

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining and water damage
  • Requires more maintenance than synthetic or leather options
  • Not intended for high-intensity sports despite the athletic heritage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Handball Spezial trainers starts with a proper fit. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not restricted to support the arch of your child's foot. For care, avoid machine washing these trainers, as water and heat can damage the suede texture. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt or dust from the surface. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray to keep the red colour vibrant and prevent moisture absorption. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink.
