FAQs

What material is the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Loafer made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from suede, providing a soft texture and premium appearance.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and dust. For stains, opt for a dedicated suede cleaner, applying it carefully according to the product's instructions.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by athletic heritage, these loafers are designed more for casual comfort and style rather than high-performance athletic activities.

What kind of outfits does this shoe complement?

The Handball Spezial Loafer complements smart-casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers, offering a sophisticated touch to everyday wear.

What is the sole made of?

The shoe features a curvilinear gum outsole, known for its comfort and grip.

Does the shoe have laces?

No, this is a loafer-style shoe and does not feature laces. It has a classic penny loafer saddle strap.

Are there other color options available?

While this guide focuses on the 'Core Black' with gold accents, availability of other colors may vary. Please check with retailers for current options.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming dirty or stained

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe losing its shape

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original form. Ensure proper storage away from excessive weight or pressure.

Gum sole losing grip

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might affect traction. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.

Color transfer from suede

This can sometimes occur, especially when the suede is wet. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing. A suede protector spray can help minimize color bleeding.
