FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While inspired by handball, these specific trainers are scaled down for kids and best suited for casual wear, afterschool activities, and light play rather than intense sports.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the adidas size chart, often available online or in-store. Allow for a small amount of growing room.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
The suede material is not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It's recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. A suede protector spray can offer some minor resistance.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a combination of synthetic material and genuine suede, providing both durability and a premium look.
Are the 3-Stripes painted or stitched?
The signature 3-Stripes are typically applied as a durable synthetic material, often stitched or heat-bonded, to maintain their iconic look and feel.
How do I keep the gold branding from fading?
The gold-toned foil Spezial branding is durable but can be susceptible to abrasion. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the branding during cleaning to preserve its finish.
Are these trainers easy to put on for children?
Yes, as low-top trainers with laces, they are designed to be relatively easy for children to put on and adjust, especially as they develop fine motor skills.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. Suede and synthetic materials may require a short break-in period to conform to the foot.
Suede looks dull or discolored
Brush the suede gently with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore its appearance. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner designed to rejuvenate the material. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or mud.
Sole lacks grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from dirt or debris that might reduce traction. The rubber sole is designed for general purpose use; extreme or slippery conditions may still pose a risk.
Stains on the synthetic or rubber parts
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Care
- Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Avoid excessive rubbing.
- Synthetic Areas: Wipe synthetic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the suede. For best results, always refer to the product label for specific care instructions.
