Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial Loafer is designed for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a blend of athletic heritage and casual elegance.

FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather with a distinctive leopard print pony hair overlay.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the Handball Spezial Loafer is designed for casual wear and not for athletic activities. The construction and materials are optimized for style and comfort in everyday situations.

How should I clean the pony hair?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaning agents.

What is the significance of the serrated 3-Stripes?

The serrated 3-Stripes are a design element that nods to the athletic heritage of the Handball Spezial series, adapted here for a lifestyle shoe.

What does 'Handball Spezial' refer to?

Handball Spezial originally referred to a classic indoor handball shoe from adidas. This loafer takes inspiration from that legacy and reinterprets it in a casual, lifestyle form.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these loafers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the pony hair and leather materials are not designed for significant moisture exposure and could be damaged.

What is the Trefoil signet?

The Trefoil is the iconic adidas logo, and the metallic gold signet on this loafer is a premium embellishment that signifies the brand's heritage.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush in the direction of the hair. For persistent dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and blot carefully, avoiding soaking the material.

Leather feels dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a clean cloth and gently rub it into the leather. Allow it to absorb before buffing off any excess.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the gum outsoles are clean and free from debris. For new shoes, a break-in period may be needed. The natural grip of the gum sole should improve with wear on appropriate surfaces.

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Using thicker socks might help stretch them slightly if they are marginally tight.
