FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial infant shoes are designed for daily adventures, offering durability and comfort for active infants.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized cleaner can be used. Always avoid excessive water and let them air dry if they get wet. Refer to the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for detailed instructions.
Do these shoes have adjustable laces?
The shoes feature elastic laces that stretch for easy slip-on access. They are not designed for traditional lace-tying adjustments, focusing instead on convenience and a snug fit.
What age group are these shoes for?
These specific shoes are categorized for infants. Please check the UK size indicated to ensure it matches your child's foot size.
Can my child wear these in the rain or wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water and may stain or lose its texture. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for suede for light moisture protection.
Are they good for children who are just starting to walk?
Yes, their super bendy sole and cushioned comfort make them suitable for children who are taking their first steps, allowing for natural foot movement and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on my child's foot.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched open. If the foot still seems to struggle, double-check the shoe size against your child's current foot measurement. Children's feet grow quickly.
The suede material looks dirty or scuffed.
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For scuffs, use a suede eraser and rub lightly. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner might be needed. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
My child seems uncomfortable or keeps trying to take the shoes off.
Verify the size. Shoes that are too small or too large can cause discomfort. Also, check the type of socks being worn; sometimes thick seams or synthetic materials can irritate. Allow your child time to adjust to new footwear.
The shoes got wet and look discolored.
If the shoes got wet, gently blot excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its nap.

Care
Maintaining the quality of your suede shoes requires specific care:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently brush off debris. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly and follow product instructions.
- Avoid Water: Suede can be easily damaged by water. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
