FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The adidas Racer TR23 trainers are designed for daily wear, active play, and light recreational sports. For intensive or specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might offer more specific support.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the adidas size chart for kids. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh upper provides breathability but offers limited water resistance. For wet conditions, consider footwear designed with waterproof materials to keep feet dry.
What is Cloudfoam technology?
Cloudfoam is an adidas midsole technology designed to deliver ultra-soft cushioning, providing exceptional comfort and impact absorption for all-day wear.
How often should I clean these trainers?
The frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe down after a few wears can maintain their appearance. For heavy use or visible dirt, clean as needed following the care instructions.
Are replacement laces available?
While adidas offers various accessories, replacement laces can often be found at shoe stores or online retailers. Measure the length of the original laces to ensure a proper fit.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the bottom to the top eyelets. For persistent issues, verify the size against a foot measurement.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice can significantly impact comfort. Allow trainers to air out after each use.
Laces frequently come untied
Teach your child a double knot or use 'bunny ear' knotting techniques for added security. Regularly check laces for wear and replace them if they appear frayed or stretched.
Trainers appear dirty or stained
Follow the care instructions for cleaning the mesh upper and midsole. For tough stains, a gentle spot cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes squeaking can be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it to reduce friction. Ensure trainers are completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your adidas Racer TR23 trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. For the first wear, untie and re-lace them to achieve a comfortable, snug fit specific to your child's foot.
- Fit Check: Have your child try on both trainers with their usual socks. Check that there is a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. The lace closure allows for adjustment; tighten until secure but not overly constricting.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for general use and are compatible with:
- Activity: Ideal for daily wear, school, playground activities, and light recreational sports.
- Clothing: Their Grey and Pink colourway makes them versatile to pair with various casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to athletic wear.
- Age Group: Specifically designed for kids (6 UK sizing available), offering appropriate support and comfort for growing feet.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid saturating the mesh.
- Cloudfoam Midsole: Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- Laces: If laces become very dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage materials. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air out the trainers. Sprinkling baking soda inside overnight can help absorb odors.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
