FAQs

What material are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Loafers made from?

They are crafted from premium 'Core Black' suede.

What is the main design inspiration for this shoe?

The design draws inspiration from the classic adidas Handball Spezial silhouette.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Use a soft-bristled brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the suede.

What kind of outsole do these shoes have?

They feature a comfortable and grippy curvilinear gum outsole.

Are these suitable for formal events?

While stylish, they are best suited for casual and smart-casual occasions rather than formal events due to their design and suede material.

What do the gold accents represent?

The gold accents include a metallic Trefoil signet, a signature adidas logo, adding a premium touch.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged and stained. Using a protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best kept for dry weather.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry. For persistent stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.

Soles feel slippery.

The gum outsole provides traction, but ensure it is clean. If they feel slippery on a particular surface, exercise caution. The texture may also improve slightly with light wear.

Shoes feel a bit tight initially.

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
