FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?
The adidas Racer TR23 shoes are excellent for general running, active play, and everyday wear, providing good cushioning and breathability. However, for specialized sports like soccer, basketball, or track and field, dedicated sports-specific footwear might offer better performance and support.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Measure from the heel to the longest toe and compare it to adidas's size chart for kids' footwear. Always try shoes on with typical socks to ensure a comfortable fit with a thumb's width space at the toe.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives, affecting the shoe's structure and longevity. Instead, follow the care instructions: spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for a wide range of activities including school, playground time, casual running, walking, and general active play. Their design prioritizes comfort and breathability for daily adventures.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The adidas Racer TR23 features a Cloudfoam midsole which provides general cushioning and comfort. For children who require specific or pronounced arch support due to foot conditions, consulting a podiatrist or using specialized insoles might be necessary.
How long should these shoes last?
The lifespan of the shoes depends on the frequency of wear, the intensity of activities, and proper care. With regular use by an active child, they are designed to be durable, but like all footwear, they will show wear over time. Regularly inspect them for signs of wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Re-check the sizing. Children's feet grow quickly, so regularly measure their feet. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose.
Foot odor develops after wear.
Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Consider using moisture-wicking socks, foot powder, or placing cedar shoe trees/baking soda packets inside the shoes when not in use. The textile lining can be gently spot cleaned.
Sole appears worn out quickly.
The durability depends on the child's activity level and gait. While designed for active kids, extreme use can lead to faster wear. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose of running and everyday wear. Consider rotating with other shoes if your child is extremely active.
Laces frequently come undone.
Teach your child to double-knot their laces. Ensure the laces are pulled taut before tying. If laces are old or frayed, consider replacing them.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the shoes' appearance and extend their lifespan.
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and textile upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean dirt from the Cloudfoam midsole and rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using a dryer, as high heat can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles (if removable) periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or baking soda packets can help absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing in sealed bags for extended periods to prevent moisture buildup.
