FAQs
What material are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Loafers made of?
They are made primarily of suede for the upper, with a rubber gum outsole.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
While inspired by the Handball Spezial, their loafer design and suede material make them more suitable for casual wear and comfort, rather than high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. Consider using a suede protector spray for added protection against water and dirt.
What does 'Aurora Cocoa' refer to?
'Aurora Cocoa' describes the specific shade of brown of the suede upper, giving it a rich and warm tone.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged and stained by water.
What is the purpose of the saddle strap?
The saddle strap is a traditional loafer design element that adds a decorative and stylistic detail, contributing to the shoe's sophisticated look.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This guide focuses on the 'Aurora Cocoa' brown suede variant. Other color options may be available depending on the specific product release and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner specializing in suede.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The suede and sole will gradually conform to your foot shape.
Color transfer from suede
This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the suede protector spray has been applied and allowed to dry fully. Limit exposure to moisture.
Gum sole shows scuff marks
Light scuff marks on the gum sole can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a magic eraser, being careful not to damage the suede upper.
