FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While they feature Handball Spezial tooling for comfort and grip, these are designed as loafers for casual and smart-casual wear, not for intense athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid using water.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and preferably in their original box or a dust bag to maintain their shape and condition.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as water can damage the material and cause color transfer.
What does 'Spezial' mean in Handball Spezial?
'Spezial' is German for 'special'. The Handball Spezial line originally debuted in the 1970s as performance footwear for handball players and has since become a lifestyle icon.
What is the main difference between this loafer and a traditional Handball Spezial sneaker?
The main difference is the silhouette. This model adopts a loafer design with a saddle detail, offering a more refined aesthetic compared to the classic athletic sneaker design of the Handball Spezial.
What size foot UK does this product correspond to?
This specific product is listed as size UK 8.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel too tight.
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight, consider using a shoe stretcher designed for suede. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Color transfer from suede.
This can occur when suede is wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing. If transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area with a damp cloth or a suitable cleaner.
