FAQs
Does the Handball Spezial Loafer fit true to size?
No, this model runs small. We strongly recommend sizing up half a size for a comfortable fit.
Can I use these for sports?
While based on a handball shoe, the loafer variant is designed as a lifestyle product and is not recommended for court sports or high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for minor scuffs. Avoid water and standard soap.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant is curated for female wearers, featuring a fit and silhouette tailored to that sizing profile.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from premium suede, providing a soft touch and a refined, matte finish.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot
This confirms the need to size up half a size; try using a thinner sock or a shoe stretcher if the fit is only marginally snug.
Water spots or marks on the suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently lift the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, always remember to size up half a size from your standard UK shoe size as the model is known to run small. Because the upper is crafted from genuine suede, keep these shoes away from harsh, wet, or muddy conditions to prevent staining or material degradation. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt regularly. If a deeper clean is required, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the richness of the brown colorway.
