FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for actual handball sports?
No, despite the name, the Handball Spezial Loafer is a lifestyle fashion product designed for casual use rather than court sports.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Most users find that the Handball Spezial series runs true to standard UK sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
How do I keep the metallic Trefoil clean?
Gently wipe the metallic detail with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could scratch the finish.
Can I wear these with thick socks?
The loafer design is low-cut; while they can be worn with socks, thin to medium-thickness socks are recommended for the best fit.
Is the material real leather?
This specific variant (MPN: KK2786) features a premium leather upper construction.
How should I store these when not in use?
Use cedar shoe trees if possible to absorb moisture and maintain the loafer's structure, and store them in a dry, ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house with socks to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape naturally.
Scuffs on the black leather upper
Apply a black shoe cream or leather polish designed for footwear to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color.
Gum sole losing its grip
Clean the soles with warm water and mild soap to remove debris and oils that may have accumulated, which usually restores traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are crafted from premium leather, proper maintenance is essential to extend their lifespan.
- Initial Fit: Ensure the size is correct upon arrival. Leather may stretch slightly, but it should not feel overly tight in the width.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a professional leather conditioner or cleaner suitable for black leather products.
- Gum Sole Care: Use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to keep the gum outsole clean from dirt buildup.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather over time. Use shoe trees to help the footwear maintain its shape when not being worn.
