FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial infant trainers are designed for daily wear, offering cushioned comfort and durability for all of your child's adventures.
How do I choose the right size for my infant?
We recommend measuring your infant's foot length and comparing it to adidas's official size chart for infant shoes. It's always best to have a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe slips off.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, these shoes feature a suede upper and should not be machine washed or submerged in water. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
The adidas Handball Spezial series offers various colors and sizes across different age groups. Please check the product listings for available variants.
Is the sole flexible for new walkers?
Yes, the construction, particularly with the super bendy and soft suede upper, is designed to be flexible and comfortable, supporting natural foot movement which is beneficial for developing feet and new walkers.
Are the laces adjustable?
The shoes feature elastic laces which provide an easy opening and some flexibility, but they are not traditional adjustable tie laces. This design is for easy on and off for infants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on infant's foot.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched open to maximize the collar opening. Wiggle the infant's foot gently, and try a thin sock if the foot feels sticky against the suede lining.
Suede appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt or scuffs. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth can be effective. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Verify the correct size. Infant feet grow quickly, so regularly check sizing. Ensure socks aren't too thick or thin for the shoe's fit. The elastic laces allow for some flexibility in fit.
Suede is discolored after getting wet.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely and naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture and color. If discoloration persists, a professional suede cleaner may be needed.

As these trainers feature a suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use to guard against stains and moisture.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, gently brush with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean, damp cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
