FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for infants learning to walk?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial infant shoes feature a super bendy and flexible sole, which is designed to support natural foot development and movement, making them suitable for crawling, cruising, and early walking.
How do I clean the suede material?
For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a very slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry away from heat. Do not machine wash.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
While durable for daily adventures, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain or very wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the suede. Consider a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, the laces are elastic and designed to stretch, providing an easy-on closure without the need for tying. This makes them very convenient for parents.
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These adidas Handball Spezial shoes are specifically designed for infants, providing comfort and support for their growing feet and early mobility stages.
Are these shoes heavy for an infant?
No, these shoes are designed to be lightweight, ensuring that they do not impede your infant's natural movement or add unnecessary bulk to their feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on infant's foot.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched to maximize the opening. Gently guide the foot in, wiggling toes forward if needed. Make sure socks are not too bulky.
Suede material looks dirty or scuffed.
For dry dirt or light scuffs, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
Shoes seem to slip off easily.
Double-check the sizing to ensure they are the correct fit for your infant's feet. While elastic laces provide an easy on/off, the fit should be snug enough to prevent slipping during movement. Ensure socks are not too slippery or bulky.
Suede feels stiff after getting wet.
If the shoes got wet, allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush to restore its softness and texture. Avoid excessive wetting of the suede.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the quality and appearance of the suede material:
- Spot Cleaning: For dry dirt or dust, gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush).
- Stain Removal: For small stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, applying sparingly and blotting gently. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (e.g., radiator, hairdryer), as this can damage the suede.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the suede and overall shoe structure.
- Water Protection (Optional): Consider using a suede protector spray for added resistance against light moisture, following product instructions carefully.
