Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for active kids who need a blend of vintage 70s style and modern functional comfort. These shoes feature a durable leather and suede construction that holds up well during daily play, while the simple hook-and-loop closure ensures they are easy for children to put on and take off independently. While the classic gum outsole provides excellent traction, users should note that the light pink suede requires regular care to keep it looking pristine against dirt and scuffs.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Please clean them manually using a damp cloth and a soft brush.

Does this model come in other colours?

This specific guide covers the pink colourway; availability of other colours depends on current stock and manufacturing releases.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

These trainers feature a regular fit. They generally accommodate standard foot widths well, but may feel narrow for children with wider-than-average feet.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the gum outsole is designed for indoor sports, making it non-marking and suitable for gym floors.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to leave about half an inch of space at the front for growth and comfort.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but the suede panels are porous and can absorb water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Strap is losing stickiness

Clear any lint or debris out of the hook-and-loop fasteners using a small brush or tweezers to restore the grip.

Scuffs on the suede toe

Use a dedicated suede eraser or a soft gum eraser to gently lift scuff marks without damaging the material fibers.

Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt

The Handball Spezial has a set regular fit; if comfort is lost, the insoles can be removed for a slight increase in volume, though sizing up is recommended for long-term comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these care tips:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede T-toe. Avoid soaking the suede, as it can change the texture.
  2. Leather Maintenance: Wipe the leather sections with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a dry, cool area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the leather or damage the adhesive.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard regular fit. If your child has wider feet, ensure they wear appropriate cotton socks to minimize friction.
