FAQs
Are these suitable for first walkers?
Yes, the 'super bendy' sole of the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers supports natural foot movement, which is essential for healthy development and confidence in early walking stages.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a specialized suede brush. For stains, use a suede cleaner and eraser, following the product's instructions. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Consider using a suede protector spray.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While durable for daily wear, the suede material is best kept away from heavy rain, puddles, or very wet conditions to prevent damage, staining, and potential hardening of the material. A suede protector can offer some resistance.
What age range is considered 'infant' for these shoes?
The 'infant' age group typically refers to babies from birth up to around 12-18 months. However, foot size is the most reliable guide for ensuring a proper fit, regardless of age.
Do the elastic laces need to be tied?
No, the elastic laces are designed for easy slip-on access and do not require tying. They provide a secure yet flexible fit without the need for traditional knots.
Are these shoes true to size?
Adidas infant sizing is generally consistent. We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the official adidas size chart to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on or seem too tight.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched, and gently wiggle the foot in. A thin, smooth sock can sometimes help reduce friction. Double-check the size against your child's foot measurements; infant feet grow quickly.
Suede looks dirty, scuffed, or stained.
Use a dry suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains or scuffs, apply a specialized suede cleaner and eraser kit following the product instructions carefully. Always allow to air dry.
My baby seems uncomfortable or tries to kick the shoes off.
First, ensure the sizing is correct and that socks are smooth, not bunched up. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe. Observe if discomfort persists; if so, consult a pediatrician, as proper foot health is paramount for infants.
The shoes look worn out quickly.
While durable, infant shoes get a lot of use. Regular cleaning and proper care, especially for suede, can extend their life. Ensure they are being used for appropriate activities and not excessively abrasive surfaces.

Setup
Getting these trainers onto tiny, sometimes squirming feet is made simple thanks to the elastic laces.
- Gently stretch the shoe collar open by pulling on the elastic laces or the tongue.
- Slide your child's foot in, ensuring their heel is properly seated at the back of the shoe.
- Check for a comfortable fit; there should be a little wiggle room at the toes but no excessive slipping at the heel.

Care
For care, the suede upper requires particular attention to maintain its quality and appearance.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water: Suede can stain and stiffen when wet. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt or mud with a soft-bristled suede brush. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser following the product instructions.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
