FAQs

Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the velvet material and the glue structure of the sole. Stick to surface cleaning with a soft brush.

Are these sneakers suitable for sports?

While the Handball Spezial was originally a court shoe, the Care Bears version is a lifestyle iteration. The velvet upper is not designed for the wear and tear of intense athletic activity.

How do I remove the Care Bear charm?

The charm features a simple clip mechanism. Press the clasp to release it from the lace eyelet or designated attachment point.

What is the best way to protect the velvet?

Consider applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for sensitive fabrics before the first wear, though test a small hidden area first.

Are these true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, fitting similarly to other lifestyle models in the brand's collection.

Troubleshooting

Velvet has developed flat spots or dust accumulation

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the fibers back into place in a consistent direction.

The shoe surface feels damp after exposure to light rain

Stuff the shoes with white paper towels to absorb internal moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Charm keeps getting caught on clothing

Simply detach the charm using the clip mechanism and store it safely in the box when wearing tight-fitting pants or garments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality velvet material provides a unique tactile feel
  • Stylish and nostalgic design suitable for expressive casual outfits
  • Versatile low-cut silhouette
  • Customizable look with the included detachable charm

Cons

  • Velvet material is sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • Requires more maintenance than traditional leather sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, consider these maintenance tips:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or surface dirt from the velvet fabric.
  2. Moisture Prevention: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as velvet can stain or lose its texture when soaked.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Charm Attachment: Ensure the detachable charm is securely fastened before wearing to prevent loss; you can remove it easily by unclipping the mechanism when cleaning the shoe.
