FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers feature a suede upper, which is not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions and consider using a suede protector spray.

How should I clean the suede material?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialist suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always allow them to air dry completely.

Are these shoes true to size for children?

These trainers are designed with a regular fit. For the best fit, it's always recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the adidas size chart available on the product page or brand's official website.

Can my child wear these for competitive sports?

While durable and grippy, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and general active play. For competitive sports, specific sports footwear designed for impact absorption and support is usually recommended.

What is the outsole made of?

The trainers feature a gum rubber outsole, which provides excellent grip and durability for various surfaces.

Are these suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are a unisex design, making them suitable for all children.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions, then brush again.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure laces are tied with a double knot. You may also consider replacing standard laces with ones that have more texture or are slightly thicker to improve grip.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lace tension. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer across the foot. For a looser fit, ease the tension. If the size is incorrect, refer to the adidas size guide for children's footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable suede construction withstands active use
  • Excellent grip from the gum rubber outsole for stability
  • Iconic and stylish retro design
  • Comfortable for everyday wear and play
  • Secure lace closure ensures a snug fit

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care to prevent damage and stains

Setup and First Use

  1. Lacing: Upon first wear, adjust the laces to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. Teach children how to tie laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during activity.
  2. Fit Check: Ensure there's adequate room in the toe box (about a thumb's width) to allow for growth and prevent discomfort.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for kids and toddlers, with sizing available for both age groups. They are a unisex design, suitable for all children. The classic style and durable build make them versatile for various casual settings and activities.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure your adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers last and maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust using a suede brush. For tougher spots or stains, use a specialist suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Water Protection: Suede is not naturally waterproof. Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and prevent stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions if possible.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede material and alter its color.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Let them air dry naturally at room temperature.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
