FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with a textile lining for comfort and a durable leather upper, these shoes are designed for comfortable all-day casual wear for younger kids.
Can my child play sports in these shoes?
While inspired by handball, these are primarily casual fashion shoes for younger kids. They are suitable for light play and everyday activities but are not designed for high-performance sports or intense athletic training.
Are the elastic laces adjustable?
No, the elastic laces are a fixed-closure system designed for easy on and off. They are not intended for adjustment. Proper sizing ensures a secure fit.
What age group are these shoes for?
These shoes are specifically designed for younger kids, as indicated by the 'Younger Kids' in the description and children's UK sizing (e.g., UK 1.5).
How do I know what size to order?
We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the official adidas sizing chart for children to ensure the best fit. Always account for a little growing room.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial line for kids often comes in a variety of colorways. While this specific pair is purple with yellow stripes, other color combinations may be available. Please check the product listings for other variants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose after purchase.
The elastic laces are fixed. If the shoes feel significantly tight or loose, it's likely a sizing issue. Ensure you've selected the correct UK children's size (e.g., UK 1.5 for this model) by measuring your child's foot or consulting an adidas sizing chart. Exchange if necessary.
White rubber outsole gets dirty quickly and is hard to keep clean.
Regularly wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap. For tougher marks, a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
Leather upper appears scuffed or dull after wear.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, consider using a clear, neutral leather conditioner or polish designed for children's footwear, applied sparingly as per product instructions.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your child's shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For general cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for children's shoes, applying it gently as directed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
