FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the adidas Racer TR23 shoes are designed with comfort and durability in mind, making them an excellent choice for daily school activities, playground time, and general wear.
How do I clean the mesh material?
For best results, hand wash with a soft brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the mesh and rinse thoroughly. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do these shoes provide good arch support for kids?
The Cloudfoam midsole provides general cushioning and comfort. For children requiring specific arch support, custom insoles might be considered, though the shoes offer adequate support for typical active play.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. They are not designed to keep feet dry in heavy rain or puddles. Consider a water-resistant spray for light moisture protection if needed.
What is the age group for these shoes?
These shoes are specifically designed and sized for kids, making them suitable for a wide range of younger ages.
How can I ensure the laces stay tied for active kids?
Using a double knot is highly recommended. You can also explore different lacing techniques or consider after-market lace locks designed to keep laces secure.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone during activity.
Ensure a double knot is tied securely. Teach your child to check their laces periodically. Consider lace locks if untying remains a persistent issue.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Re-adjust the lacing. Make sure laces are tightened evenly from the bottom to the top. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements; children's feet grow quickly.
Shoes get dirty quickly and are hard to keep clean.
Establish a routine for wiping down shoes after each wear. For more stubborn dirt, follow the spot cleaning instructions using a soft brush and mild soap. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for mesh materials.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Ensure your child wears socks. Remove insoles if possible to air them separately. You can use odor-absorbing sachets or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wear).
Mesh upper seems to be fraying or tearing.
Examine the extent of the damage. For minor fraying, careful trimming with sharp scissors may prevent further unraveling. For significant tears, professional shoe repair might be an option, or it may indicate time for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing and First Fit: Remove the shoes from their packaging. Have your child try them on with their usual socks. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Lace Adjustment: Loosen the laces completely. Guide your child's foot into the shoe. Tighten the laces evenly, starting from the toes, working upwards. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't pinch or feel too loose. Tie a secure knot, considering a double knot for active children.

- Everyday wear: School, casual outings, family events.
- Light athletic activities: Playground play, running, walking, gym class.
- Outdoor adventures: Park visits, light hiking.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your child's shoes:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, hand wash the shoes using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the materials.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using a dryer, as high heat can alter the shape and damage the materials. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles if possible and air them out after heavy use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
