FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor play?
Yes, they are durable enough for outdoor use, though the suede upper should be protected with a spray to prevent permanent staining from mud or rain.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can destroy the texture of the suede and weaken the glue holding the outsole to the upper.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite sock liner?
OrthoLite liners provide long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, which helps keep the inside of the shoe fresh.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The UK Size 2 is designed for infants. We recommend measuring the foot from heel to toe and comparing it against the adidas size chart to account for growing room.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede material is naturally porous and will absorb water. It is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or replace with shorter, textured laces that provide more friction.
Suede appears matted or flat
Use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently agitate the fibers back to their original nap.
Minor scuff marks on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap to wipe the edge of the rubber sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized soft-bristle brush designed for suede to gently remove dry dirt and debris.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first use to protect the material from spills.
- Storage: Keep shoes away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the suede to fade or the adhesive to weaken.
- Moisture: Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they get wet, stuff them with paper towels and let them air dry naturally away from radiators or direct heaters.
