FAQs

What is the recommended age group for these shoes?

These shoes are designed for kids.

Can these shoes be used for playing sports?

While inspired by the original Handball Spezial from 1979, this version for kids (classified as 'Slippers & Sandals') is best suited for casual wear, comfort, and everyday styling rather than rigorous sports activities.

How should I clean these shoes?

The leather upper can be cleaned by gently wiping with a damp cloth. For the rubber outsole, use mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are the laces adjustable?

These shoes feature elastic laces designed for easy on and off, providing a secure fit without the need for traditional tying or adjustment.

What are the primary materials used in these shoes?

They feature a leather upper, textile lining, and a durable rubber outsole.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The shoes come in UK size 10.5 and are designed for a regular fit. It's always best to measure your child's foot to ensure the correct size.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or don't fit right.

Ensure the correct UK size 10.5 is chosen for the child's foot. While elastic laces offer ease of use, they are not adjustable for a custom fit. A professional fitting can help confirm the right size.

Leather upper appears dull or dirty.

Gently wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather footwear. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and test on a small, hidden area first.

Rubber outsole shows signs of wear quickly.

The rubber outsole is designed for casual wear. Excessive use on rough surfaces or for high-impact activities may lead to faster wear. These shoes are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.

Shoes develop an odor.

Ensure the child wears socks to absorb moisture. Allow shoes to air out after each use. If odor persists, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically formulated for leather footwear. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to clean the rubber sole. Rinse with clean water.
  • Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
