adidas Originals Handball Spezial - Trainers - Brown - Size 12.5

While durable, the suede upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve the material. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

These particular trainers are sized for toddlers and kids, suitable for active children in various age ranges depending on their foot size. This specific variant is UK size 12.5.

We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to a standard UK children's shoe size chart. It's always best to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit with a thumb's width space at the toe.

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and adhesives. Please follow the care instructions for cleaning suede by hand.

The upper is made from smooth suede with a synthetic lining, and the outsole is crafted from grippy gum rubber for optimal traction.

They are excellent for general active play, running, and everyday wear, offering durability and good grip. However, for specialized or high-performance school sports, specific athletic shoes designed for those activities might be more appropriate.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean the surface. For deeper dirt, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as per product instructions, then brush.

The gum rubber outsole might be dirty. Clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated grime or debris that could be reducing traction.

Check the lacing. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tightly. Also, verify that the child is wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, reassess the shoe size.

Act quickly! For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For oil-based stains, apply a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let it sit for a few hours, then brush off gently. Always use a suede-specific cleaner for best results.

Remove insoles if possible and air out the trainers. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.
