FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the adidas Racer TR23 Hook and Loop Shoes are designed for daily use, offering comfort and durability perfect for school, playtime, and general activities.
How do the hook-and-loop straps work?
The shoes feature elastic laces for easy entry and a single hook-and-loop strap across the top. This strap is adjustable, allowing your child to secure the shoe quickly and easily without needing to tie laces.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. These shoes are best suited for dry conditions.
What is Cloudfoam?
Cloudfoam is a type of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam used in the midsole of adidas shoes. It provides superior cushioning, comfort, and lightweight support for a comfortable wearing experience.
How should I choose the right size for my child?
It is always recommended to measure your child's foot before purchasing. Children's feet grow quickly, and sizes can vary. Refer to a standard UK children's shoe size chart for guidance, and consider allowing a little extra room for growth.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the mesh upper and Cloudfoam midsole contribute to a lightweight design, ensuring that the shoes don't weigh down your child's feet during activities.
Troubleshooting
The hook-and-loop strap isn't sticking well.
Clean both sides of the hook-and-loop fastener. Lint, dirt, and threads can accumulate and reduce grip. Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) or tweezers to remove debris. If heavily worn, replacement may be necessary over time.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is adjusted correctly. It should be snug but not restrictive. For persistent fit issues, double-check your child's current foot size against the shoe size, as children's feet grow quickly.
Shoes develop an odor.
Ensure shoes are aired out regularly after use, especially if worn without socks or during intense activity. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Allow them to dry completely if they get wet.
The mesh upper looks dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth moistened with mild soap and water. For tough stains, a gentle stain remover designed for fabrics can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

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 mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, mix mild soap with lukewarm water. Use a cloth or soft brush to clean the mesh upper and sole. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water, especially for prolonged periods, as this can affect the materials and adhesive.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as this can damage the materials.
- Maintaining the Hook-and-Loop Strap: Periodically remove any lint, dirt, or debris from the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure they maintain their strong grip.
