FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for babies who are just starting to walk?
Yes, the super bendy sole is designed to provide flexibility and support natural foot movement, which is beneficial for babies learning to crawl and take their first steps.
How do I clean the suede material?
For light dirt, use a specialized suede brush. For tougher marks, a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material is recommended. Always avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.
Can these shoes get wet?
While the suede offers some natural resistance, it's best to avoid excessive water exposure. Suede can stain or become damaged if soaked. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.
Are these shoes true to size?
Adidas infant sizing is generally consistent. However, infant foot sizes can vary greatly, so it's always recommended to measure your baby's foot and consult a size chart if unsure.
What age range is the 'infant' sizing for?
Infant sizing typically ranges from newborn up to about 18-24 months, depending on the child's foot growth. This specific product is size 7 UK, which usually corresponds to babies around 12-18 months, but actual age can vary.
Are the elastic laces adjustable?
The elastic laces are designed for convenience and stretch to allow easy entry and provide a secure fit. They are not traditionally adjustable like tie-up laces, but their elasticity adapts to the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched, allowing the shoe's collar to open as wide as possible. Gently guide your baby's foot in/out.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft suede brush to gently rub off dry dirt. For more stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as per its instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing or water.
My baby's foot slips out of the shoe.
Double-check the sizing. The shoes should be snug but not tight. Ensure your baby is wearing appropriate socks that don't cause extra slippage inside the shoe.
Suede looks matted or flattened.
Use a suede brush to gently raise the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to restore its original texture and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting these shoes on your infant is straightforward. The elastic laces are designed to stretch, allowing you to easily open the shoe's collar. Simply gently slide your baby's foot in and ensure the shoe is comfortably seated. The elastic will then help keep the shoe securely in place without needing to tie anything.
Compatibility
These adidas Originals Handball Spezial Shoes are designed for infants and are unisex, making them a versatile choice for any baby. The specific size for this product is 7 UK (Infant), suitable for babies within that size range. Always ensure you measure your infant's foot to guarantee the correct fit, as comfortable footwear is essential for healthy foot development.
Care
Maintaining the suede upper is important to preserve the shoes' appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove debris. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner designed for delicate materials is recommended. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Protection: To prevent water stains and make future cleaning easier, consider applying a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against moisture and dirt.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, do not use direct heat (like a radiator or hairdryer) as this can damage the suede. Instead, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge these shoes in water.
