FAQs

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These Adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes are specifically designed for infants and toddlers, with features optimized for little feet.

How do I clean the suede material?

To clean the suede, gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For spots, use a lightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution and dab. Avoid saturating the suede and always air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, with their comfortable fit, flexible suede, and durable rubber outsole, they are suitable for crawling, cruising, and early walking, providing support and grip.

Do these shoes come in other sizes or colors?

The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial line often includes various sizes and contemporary colorways across its range. Please check available stock for other size and color options.

What type of closure do these shoes have?

They feature an easy-to-use elastic lace closure combined with a hook-and-loop fastening for quick and secure fitting on infant feet.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, due to the suede upper material, these shoes are not waterproof and should be protected from heavy moisture. They are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure the hook-and-loop fastening is fully opened and the elastic laces are stretched to create the widest possible opening before attempting to put the foot in or out. Check the shoe size to ensure it's appropriate for your child's foot.

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, lightly dab with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow suede to air dry completely. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter.

The fit seems too tight or too loose.

Verify that you have the correct size based on your child's current foot measurements. The hook-and-loop strap allows for minor adjustments in snugness; ensure it's fastened comfortably, not too tight or loose, to provide support without restricting movement.

Shoes are losing their grip.

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or mud that might be reducing traction. If the sole is heavily worn, it might be time for a new pair.

Setup: Using the Elastic Lace & Hook-and-Loop Closure To prepare the shoes for wear: 1. Fully open the hook-and-loop strap across the top of the shoe. 2. Gently stretch the elastic laces to widen the shoe opening. 3. Slide your infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is properly seated. 4. Securely fasten the hook-and-loop strap, making sure it's snug but not too tight. ## Compatibility: These shoes are designed specifically for infants and toddlers, offering a regular fit. They are a unisex product, suitable for any gender. Ensure you select the correct UK infant shoe size for your child's foot measurements. ## Care: Suede Material To maintain the appearance and longevity of the suede upper: - Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and a small amount of mild soap, then dab the soiled area. Avoid saturating the suede. - Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray designed for footwear, which can help repel water and stains. - Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. - Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede.
