FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

Yes, the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are designed for active kids and provide good traction and durability for casual sports and playground activities. However, for specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

These trainers are sized in UK children's sizes. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Adidas size chart for the most accurate fit. Ensure there's a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe slips off.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, due to the suede upper and overall construction, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the material and adhesives. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.

Is the gum rubber outsole slippery on wet surfaces?

The gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip in dry conditions. While it offers decent traction, like any shoe, it may have reduced grip on extremely wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

What is a T-toe?

The double-stitched T-toe refers to a reinforcement panel at the front of the shoe, shaped like a 'T'. This design feature adds extra durability to the toe area, which is a high-wear zone for active children.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial series is available in various color combinations and materials. Please check product listings for available variants to see the full range.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure laces are double-knotted after tying. Teach your child to check their laces periodically during play.

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing or water.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lace closure. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them evenly. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, as sock thickness can affect fit.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

Sometimes, new gum rubber soles can squeak on very smooth indoor surfaces. This usually diminishes with wear. Ensure the sole is clean and dry; a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Built to withstand active play with a tough suede upper and robust sole.
  • Superior Traction: Gum rubber outsole provides reliable grip on diverse surfaces, reducing slips.
  • Comfortable Fit: Regular fit and synthetic lining ensure comfort for growing feet throughout the day.
  • Iconic Style: Retro design with classic adidas detailing offers a fashionable and recognizable look.
  • Secure Lacing: Traditional lace closure allows for a customizable and snug fit, essential for active children.

Cons

  • Suede Maintenance: Requires specific cleaning and care to preserve the material's appearance and condition.
  • Not Water-Resistant: Suede is susceptible to water damage and not ideal for very wet conditions.
  • Lace Tying Skill: May require assistance for very young children who are still learning to tie laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Upon receiving your Adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers, ensure the lace closure is properly tightened for a secure and comfortable fit. Guide your child to put on the shoes, then adjust the laces evenly, making sure they are snug but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement. Double-knotting the laces can help prevent them from coming undone during active play.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for kids and are suitable for a wide range of activities, from daily school wear to playground adventures and casual sports. Their durable construction makes them compatible with various surfaces. They are a unisex design, fitting both boys and girls comfortably.

Care

The suede upper requires specific care. To clean, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as these can damage the suede. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Regular application of a suede protector spray can help repel water and stains, prolonging the life and appearance of the trainers. The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its grip.
