FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for competitive sports?

The adidas Originals Younger Kids Handball Spezial shoes are primarily designed for casual wear, everyday play, and light activities. While durable, they are not intended for competitive sports that require specialized athletic footwear.

How do I clean the suede material?

To clean suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, applying it with a clean cloth and then brushing once dry. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede.

Are the shoes waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material. You can apply a suede protector spray for added resistance to moisture and stains.

What age group are these shoes for?

These shoes are specifically designed for 'younger kids' or 'children,' indicated by the 'PS' (Preschool) in some product descriptions and smaller UK children's sizing.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial for kids is designed for a 'regular fit.' We generally recommend selecting your child's usual shoe size. If you are unsure, it's best to measure their foot and consult an adidas size chart.

What is the purpose of the 'T-toe' design?

The T-toe design is a classic feature inherited from the original Handball Spezial. It provides additional structure and durability to the toe area, a high-wear zone, while also contributing to the shoe's iconic retro aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently dab the affected area, then brush once dry.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

Ensure the correct size has been purchased. The shoes are designed for a 'regular fit.' Adjust the lace closure to provide a secure but comfortable fit. Try different lacing techniques if needed.

Laces frequently come undone during play.

Teach your child to double-knot their laces for extra security. Regularly check the laces for wear and replace them if they become frayed or stretched, as this can make them harder to keep tied.

Sole lacks grip on certain surfaces.

The gum rubber outsole provides good traction on most dry surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of mud, dirt, or debris that might reduce grip. Avoid excessively slick or wet surfaces, as suede shoes are not designed for extreme conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless Style: The retro design remains fashionable across generations.
  • Built for Durability: Suede upper and gum sole are designed to withstand active play.
  • Excellent Traction: Gum rubber outsole provides reliable grip on various surfaces.
  • Comfortable Fit: Regular fit and synthetic lining ensure comfort for all-day wear.
  • Supports Active Kids: Constructed to keep up with running and playing.

Cons

  • Suede Care: Requires specific cleaning and protection to maintain its appearance and resist stains.
  • Lace Closure: May require assistance for very young children or need frequent re-tying during intense activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your adidas Originals Younger Kids Handball Spezial shoes come ready to wear. Simply adjust the lace closure to achieve a snug and comfortable fit for your child's foot. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent tripping during activity.

Compatibility

These shoes feature a unisex design and are compatible with a wide range of children's clothing styles, from sporty to casual. Their regular fit accommodates most foot shapes, scaled specifically for younger, growing feet. They are ideal for everyday wear, light play, and casual outings.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede Handball Spezial shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Brush Regularly: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
  2. Spot Clean Stains: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Apply to a clean cloth, then blot the stain. Avoid excessive rubbing.
  3. Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Minimize exposure to heavy rain or puddles. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
