FAQs

How do I clean the suede material on these shoes?

For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, always following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of weather?

These shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. The suede upper is not waterproof, and exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the material. Consider applying a suede protector for added resistance.

What kind of activities are these shoes designed for?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial are perfect for everyday casual wear, school, and light active play. Their durable construction and grippy sole make them ideal for running, playing, and general activities on various surfaces.

Do these shoes run true to size for children?

These shoes are designed with a regular fit and are scaled for growing feet. It's generally recommended to select your child's usual UK shoe size, but always refer to a size guide if unsure, or measure your child's foot.

What is the benefit of a gum rubber outsole?

A gum rubber outsole provides superior grip and traction on various surfaces, offering increased stability and reducing the likelihood of slipping. It's also known for its durability and classic appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to smooth the fibers.

Shoes are getting dirty quickly

Regularly clean the shoes after wear, especially the sole. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede to create a protective barrier.

Laces frequently come undone during play

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip, if needed.

Pros and Cons

Care

Caring for your suede adidas Handball Spezial shoes will extend their lifespan and maintain their appearance:

  • Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, following the product instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using excessive water.
  • Protecting Suede: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter, especially if the shoes will be worn outdoors frequently.
  • Cleaning Gum Rubber Sole: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
