Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose on my infant's foot.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Infant shoe sizes vary, so it's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to an official adidas sizing chart. If the size is correct, ensure socks are not too thick, or try adjusting how much the elastic laces are stretched.

Suede upper looks dirty or stained.

For dry dirt, use a soft suede brush. For mild stains, gently dab with a slightly damp cloth (not wet) or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the suede. Let them air dry completely.

It's still difficult to put the shoes on my infant.

Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched open to maximize the opening. Gently guide your infant's foot, possibly using a thin sock for smoother entry. Try wiggling the foot in slowly rather than forcing it.

The shoes appear creased or losing their shape.

This can happen with active use. To help maintain shape, stuff the shoes with acid-free tissue paper when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can dry out and stiffen the suede.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For dry dirt or dust, use a soft suede brush to gently brush it away. Always brush in one direction.
  2. Damp Cleaning (Mild Stains): For minor marks, lightly dampen a clean, soft cloth with water (do not saturate) and gently dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing vigorously. You can also use a specialized suede cleaner if available.
  3. Avoid Excessive Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Do not submerge the shoes in water or machine wash them, as this can damage the material and alter its texture.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Protection (Optional): Consider using a suede protective spray to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
