FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the rubber outsole. We recommend wiping them clean with a damp cloth.
Do these shoes come in other materials?
Yes, depending on the specific variant, these are also available in suede options.
Is the size chart consistent with other adidas models?
The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas infant sizing, but it is always best to measure your child's foot before purchasing.
Are the laces functional or decorative?
The laces are elastic, making them functional for keeping the shoe secure while allowing for easy slip-on access.
Can these be used for sports?
While inspired by classic handball shoes, they are primarily designed as casual lifestyle trainers for infants.
What is the best way to remove stains from the beige leather?
Use a gentle, leather-safe cleaner applied with a soft microfiber cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the positioning of the tongue to ensure the laces are distributed evenly across the foot bridge.
Scuffs on the leather upper
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a damp cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs and restore the surface.
Loss of traction
Check the gum outsole for trapped debris or dirt and clean the treads with a damp brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required thanks to the soft textile lining. For maintenance, wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the integrity of the leather and the adhesive bonding of the gum sole. If the trainers become heavily soiled, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a soft brush to gently remove debris. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colors from fading.
