FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?

No, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While durable for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-performance sports like running, football, or intense athletic training.

How do I clean the suede material?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and avoid saturating the suede with water.

Are these trainers true to size for kids?

Generally, adidas trainers are consistent with standard sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to an adidas size guide if you're unsure. You can also try them on to ensure the best fit.

Can these trainers be worn in rainy weather?

Suede is not naturally water-resistant. While they can withstand light drizzle, heavy rain should be avoided as it can stain and damage the suede. Applying a good quality suede protector spray can offer some water repellency.

What is the recommended age group for these trainers?

These trainers are specifically designed and sized for kids. The available sizes typically cater to various stages of childhood, from toddlers to older children.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This will lift the fibers and restore its original texture and appearance.

Trainers are stained with dirt or mud.

Allow any mud or dirt to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush off the dried dirt with a stiff-bristled brush (like a suede brush). For remaining marks, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions.

Trainers have an unpleasant odor.

Remove insoles if possible and air out the trainers in a well-ventilated area. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside, leave it overnight, and then shake it out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe inserts.

Suede is discolored or has water spots.

For water spots, gently dampen the entire affected area with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry evenly. For other discoloration, a professional suede cleaner or dye might be necessary.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a soft, damp cloth. Rub gently.
  4. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  6. Avoid Water Immersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge suede trainers in water, as this can damage the material.
  7. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
