FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for official handball games?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for kids' everyday active play and casual wear. For official competitive handball, specialized performance footwear may be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

Refer to Adidas's official sizing chart and measure your child's foot. Consider their current shoe size and intended use (e.g., room for thicker socks).

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and become damaged. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or through puddles.

What is the main difference between suede and leather versions?

Suede offers a softer, more casual look and feel but requires more careful cleaning. Leather typically offers greater water resistance and may be easier to wipe clean, providing a slightly different aesthetic.

How often should I clean the shoes?

Clean as needed. For active kids, spot cleaning after play might be necessary. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically based on wear and dirt accumulation.

What age group are these shoes intended for?

These shoes are designed for kids, with this specific model sized for children's feet (UK 13).

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. For stains, try a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels reduced.

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.

Laces keep coming undone.

Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot or a standard bow that is tightened properly. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Shoes feel stiff.

New suede shoes can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them around the house for short periods to help break them in gradually. Avoid excessive bending or flexing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a suede eraser to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the material. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
