FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are inspired by handball shoes and are best suited for lifestyle wear and light recreational activities. They are not designed for high-impact or professional sports.

How do I clean the purple suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used with care. Avoid machine washing or excessive water, and always air dry.

What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?

'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that these trainers are sized for older children.

What are the main materials used in these trainers?

The upper is primarily made of suede, with leather for the 3-stripes and overlays. The lining is textile, and the outsole is rubber.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by adidas, which usually includes conversions for different international sizing systems (e.g., UK, EU, US). Measure your child's foot for accuracy.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and damage easily. It is recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in rain or snow.

What other color options are available for the Handball Spezial series?

The Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways, often including different combinations of suede, leather, and accent colors for both kids and adults. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, a suede eraser or a very slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously, followed by air drying.

Laces are frayed or worn

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Many footwear retailers offer replacement laces.

Sole appears worn

The rubber outsole is designed for durability, but excessive wear may indicate heavy usage. Ensure the shoes fit correctly to avoid uneven wear patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Suitable for unisex children's sizing. They pair well with casual wear like jeans, shorts, tracksuits, and t-shirts.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the material. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Laces: Clean laces separately by hand with mild soap and water.
  3. Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect the suede.
