FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?
The Handball Spezial is designed with a retro athletic aesthetic, making it great for casual play and everyday activities. For specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might offer more specific support and features.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's foot and compare it to adidas' official sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can damage the material and structure. Follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.
What is the benefit of the ADIPRENE+ cushioning?
ADIPRENE+ is an advanced cushioning technology that provides excellent shock absorption and rebound, offering comfort and protecting your child's feet from impact during play and daily activities.
What does the Torsion System do?
The Torsion System is integrated into the sole to provide adaptive midfoot support. It allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, enhancing stability and control on uneven surfaces.
Is the black color variant prone to showing dirt?
While darker colors can sometimes hide certain types of dirt, suede, regardless of color, can show dust or scuffs. Regular brushing and proper care, as outlined in this guide, will help maintain their appearance.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or deep puddles should be avoided to prevent damage to the material and maintain the shoe's longevity. A protective spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper marks, a suede eraser or cleaner can be applied gently. Always brush in one direction.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Suede shoes often require a short break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter durations at first until the material softens and molds to their foot.
Traction seems reduced.
Check the gum rubber sole for accumulated dirt or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore its grippy surface.
Shoes are damp after light rain or spills.
Do not machine wash. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your suede shoes.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and blot, do not rub aggressively.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
- Sole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain traction and cleanliness.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
