FAQs

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These adidas Handball Spezial shoes are specifically designed for infants.

How do I clean the suede material?

For light dirt, use a soft, dry cloth or a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, with their durable design, cushioned comfort, and easy-on closure, they are ideal for daily adventures and active play.

Do these shoes offer good support for new walkers?

Yes, the super bendy sole provides flexibility which is crucial for natural foot development and comfortable movement for new walkers and active infants.

Are the laces adjustable or do they stretch?

The shoes feature elastic laces, which provide stretch for easy on and off, and a comfortable, secure fit without needing to be tied.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

As they are made with a suede upper, these shoes are not recommended for wet weather conditions, as suede can be susceptible to water damage and staining. Consider using a suede protector spray.

Troubleshooting

Shoes seem difficult to put on

Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched open. Gently wiggle your child's foot into the shoe, pushing lightly from the heel. Confirm you have the correct size; shoes that are too small will be difficult to get on.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.

Child seems uncomfortable or restless in the shoes

Check the fit to ensure there's adequate room for toes (about a thumb's width). Ensure socks are not bunched up. Observe if discomfort is persistent and consider consulting with a child footwear specialist if concerns remain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Shoe: Ensure the elastic laces are relaxed and the shoe opening is as wide as possible.
  2. Position Foot: Gently guide your infant's foot into the shoe, wiggling toes forward to ensure a proper fit.
  3. Secure Fit: Once the foot is in, the elastic laces will naturally conform around the ankle, providing a snug yet comfortable fit. No tying required.

  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.

Care Instructions

  • General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the suede upper with a soft, dry cloth or a dedicated suede brush. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as they can stain or damage suede.
  • Drying: If shoes get damp, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protectant spray (suitable for footwear) before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
