Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Putting on the adidas Handball Spezial Suede Trainers is straightforward. Ensure your child's socks are smooth and that their foot slides in comfortably. Check for proper fit by pressing on the toe area to ensure a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed as Unisex footwear, making them suitable for both boys and girls. Their classic black and white design with the iconic 3-Stripes pairs well with a wide range of toddler clothing, from jeans and shorts to casual dresses and tracksuits.
Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the look of these suede trainers:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush (or a clean, dry toothbrush) to gently brush off loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the stain.
- Deeper Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and gently dab the stain.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Water: Do not machine wash or submerge suede shoes in water, as this can damage the material and cause discoloration.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
