Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for kids seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit is providing a secure, easy-to-wear fit with a durable build suitable for active play. A potential caveat is that the suede material may require specific care to maintain its appearance. These trainers feature a classic silhouette inspired by 70s indoor sports designs, a supple suede upper, a rubber outsole for traction, and elastic laces with a hook-and-loop closure for a secure and adjustable fit.

FAQs

How do I clean the suede on these trainers?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid saturating the suede.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by indoor sports design and offering good traction for play, they are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities rather than intense, specialized sports.

What is the purpose of the elastic laces and hook-and-loop closure?

This system is designed for ease of use, allowing children to put on and take off shoes quickly and securely adjust the fit themselves.

How should I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for children's footwear. It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the chart for the best fit.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide traction on various surfaces.

How do I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty with hook-and-loop closure

Ensure the velcro straps are clean and free from lint or debris, which can affect their grip. If straps are worn, they may need replacement.

Suede material scuffing or staining

Address stains immediately with appropriate suede cleaner or a dry brush. For minor scuffs, a suede eraser can sometimes help. Protect with a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or mud that might be obstructing the tread pattern. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use on slippery surfaces.

Shoes feel stiff after getting wet

Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
