FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

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

How do I clean the pony hair?

Regularly brush with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking. Consider specialized leather/suede protectors.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

No, these are casual loafers designed for everyday wear and comfort, not for athletic activities.

What does the curvilinear gum outsole do?

It provides reliable grip and contributes to the overall comfort of the shoe, inspired by the original Handball Spezial design.

What is the 'Animal' pattern?

The 'Animal' pattern refers to the leopard print featured on the pony hair upper of the shoe.

What is the main difference between this and a typical Handball Spezial sneaker?

This is a loafer-style shoe that takes inspiration from the Handball Spezial's design elements (like the gum sole and 3-Stripes) but reimagines them in a relaxed, slip-on silhouette with premium materials like pony hair.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the gum sole offers some protection, the pony hair upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears matted or flattened

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush in the direction of the nap. For stubborn matting, a suede brush may be used cautiously.

Stains on the animal print

Attempt to gently clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate materials.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

While the gum outsole provides grip, ensure it is clean. For significant slipping issues on very smooth, wet surfaces, consider professional sole treatment if needed.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and bold animal print design.
  • Combines classic loafer style with athletic heritage.
  • Durable leather construction.
  • Comfortable and grippy gum outsole.
  • Distinctive branding elements for a premium feel.

Cons

  • Pony hair upper may require specialized cleaning and care.
  • The animal print may not suit all personal styles or occasions.
  • Loafer style might offer less support than traditional athletic shoes for extensive activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these loafers require no setup beyond initial fitting. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and wear.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

Care: The pony hair upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance:

  1. Brushing: Regularly brush the pony hair with a soft brush in the direction of the nap to remove dust and debris.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.
  3. Protection: Consider using a protective spray designed for leather and suede (test on an inconspicuous area first) to help repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect the material and maintain shape.
