FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports activities?

While inspired by handball shoes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial in Suede is primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style rather than high-performance sports. Its suede material is not ideal for intense athletic use.

How do I determine the correct size?

These shoes are in UK children's sizes. We recommend referring to the adidas official size chart or trying them on to ensure the best fit. If between sizes, consider ordering up.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the suede material. If they do get wet, blot them dry immediately with a clean towel and let them air dry naturally.

What is the best way to clean the suede upper?

For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for all genders within the kids' age group.

What does 'Handball Spezial' mean?

Spezial refers to the original handball shoe released in 1979 by adidas. The name signifies its heritage as a classic indoor sports shoe, now reimagined for lifestyle wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and remove light surface dirt. Brush in one direction.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace tension. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For a looser fit, loosen laces, especially around the forefoot. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.

Shoes squeak when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baby powder under the insole if it's removable. If not, the squeak might be from the sole gripping the floor; ensure the outsole is clean.

Outsole looks dirty or has poor grip

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure it's dry before wearing to maintain grip.

If they get wet, blot gently with a clean towel and let them air dry away from direct heat. 2. Stain Removal: * For oil-based stains, apply cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let it sit for a few hours, then brush off gently. 3. Protection: * Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray product. 4. Storage: * Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. * Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
