FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend treating them with a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
These shoes are in UK children's sizes. We highly recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the official Adidas size chart to ensure the best and most comfortable fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the suede material, glues, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the specific care instructions for cleaning the suede and rubber sections by hand.
Are these suitable for all types of sports?
While durable and offering good traction, these trainers are best suited for casual wear, light play, and general daily activities. For specialized sports, consider footwear specifically designed for those high-performance needs.
What is the gum rubber sole made of?
The gum rubber sole is typically made from natural rubber compounds, known for their excellent grip, flexibility, and durability, especially on indoor and clean outdoor surfaces.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
Typically, Adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers do not come with extra laces. Replacement laces can often be purchased separately if needed.
Is the synthetic lining comfortable for bare feet?
The synthetic lining is designed for comfort. However, for optimal hygiene and to prevent chafing, especially during active play, wearing socks is generally recommended when wearing these trainers.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions precisely.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure laces are tied with a secure double knot. If the issue persists, consider replacing the laces with a slightly longer or more textured pair.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Double-check the size against your child's current foot measurement using a reliable size chart. For minor adjustments, try different sock thicknesses or re-tie laces to optimize fit.
Soles have lost some grip
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes be caused by air trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and reinserting it carefully. If it persists, it could indicate a manufacturing issue; contact customer support.

Care
- Suede Upper: To clean, gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush specifically designed for suede. For tougher spots, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals. Protect from moisture with a suitable suede protector spray.
- Gum Rubber Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
- General: Air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the suede, glues, and overall structure of the trainers. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
