FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and affect the adhesive. Always clean by hand with a damp cloth.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally follows standard sizing, but check the UK size guide provided to match your child's current foot measurements.

Can these be used for sports like football?

While they provide good traction, they are lifestyle sneakers inspired by handball. They are best suited for general play rather than high-impact competitive sports.

How do I remove stubborn dirt from the white upper?

Use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may yellow the leather.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather upper is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy puddles to keep the interior dry.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Double-knot the laces or swap them for elastic replacement laces if the child struggles to tie them.

Scuff marks on the white leather

Gently clean with a slightly damp cloth and a mild soap solution, or use a dedicated leather cleaning wipe.

Outsole losing grip

Check the tread for debris like small pebbles or dried mud that may be trapped in the pattern and clean with a soft brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper withstands daily wear and tear
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and active environments
  • Reliable traction with a grippy rubber outsole
  • Adjustable lace closure ensures a secure fit
  • Timeless, recognisable vintage style

Cons

  • White colourway requires frequent cleaning to stay looking new
  • Lace-up design may be difficult for younger children to tie independently
  • Leather material is less breathable than mesh alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of these trainers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources that could crack the leather. Since they feature a lace closure, ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets for optimal support. For routine care, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this may compromise the material structure. For scuffs on the white surface, use a mild leather-safe cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff away marks.
