FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

Measure your child's foot length from heel to longest toe and compare it to the adidas size chart. It's best to measure both feet, as one can be slightly larger. Leave a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) at the toe for growth.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the shoes. Please follow the care instructions for hand cleaning.

Are these shoes suitable for all sports?

The adidas Racer TR23 Hook and Loop Shoes are designed for general everyday wear and active play. While they offer good comfort and support for running and casual activities, for specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might provide better performance and protection.

What is Cloudfoam technology?

Cloudfoam is an adidas cushioning technology used in the midsole. It provides ultra-soft cushioning for enhanced comfort and impact absorption, making the shoes feel lightweight and comfortable for prolonged wear.

How long should the hook-and-loop strap last?

The lifespan of the hook-and-loop strap depends on usage frequency and care. With proper cleaning and moderate use, it should last for a significant period. Regularly cleaning lint and debris from the fasteners can help maintain their grip.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These shoes feature a regular fit. While the elastic laces and strap offer some flexibility, if your child has significantly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Verify the child's current shoe size against the size chart. Ensure socks are not too thick or thin for the shoe fit. Adjust the hook-and-loop strap to be snug but not restrictive. Remember that children's feet grow quickly, so regular re-measurement is recommended.

Hook-and-loop strap isn't holding securely.

Check the hook-and-loop fastener for lint, dirt, or debris that might be preventing proper adhesion. Clean both sides with a stiff brush or tweezers. If the strap is worn out, its effectiveness may be reduced over time with heavy use.

Child's feet are getting sweaty or smelly.

The mesh upper provides breathability, but ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. If odor persists, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and smells.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check for any loose parts within the shoe or sole. Sometimes, a new shoe can squeak due to air trapped between components; this often resolves with wear. If persistent, ensure the insole is properly seated.

Setup & First Use

Putting on the adidas Racer TR23 Hook and Loop Shoes is straightforward:

  1. Loosen the hook-and-loop strap.
  2. Slide your child's foot into the shoe. The elastic laces allow for easy entry.
  3. Secure the hook-and-loop strap firmly over the instep, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Check that there's enough room for toes to wiggle comfortably.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for kids in a regular fit. Ensure you choose the correct UK size for your child's foot length. Regular fit accommodates a wide range of foot shapes.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your adidas Racer TR23 shoes in optimal condition:

  • Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the mesh upper and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently on the mesh.
  • Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not tumble dry.
  • Odor Control: If shoes develop an odor, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside overnight to absorb smells, then shaken out.
  • Strap Longevity: Regularly clean the hook-and-loop fasteners to prevent lint and debris from reducing their grip.
