FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to dry, manual cleaning methods.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede is sensitive to water, which can cause spotting or material stiffening. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from heat.

How do these compare to the standard Handball Spezial trainers?

The Loafer variant features the same sole unit and general silhouette but removes the lacing system for a streamlined, slip-on look.

Do I need to break them in?

Like most high-quality suede footwear, they may feel slightly stiff initially but will conform to your foot shape after a few wears.

What is the best way to store these loafers?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, preferably using shoe trees to maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dusty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Small dry stains on the surface

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser until the mark lifts.

Fit feels slightly loose

Consider using thin, supportive insoles to improve fit without compromising the aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a slip-on shoe, there is no technical setup required; simply ensure you have selected your correct UK adult size for the best fit. Regarding care, treat the suede upper with a water-repellent spray before first use to guard against stains and moisture. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust and a suede eraser for spot cleaning light scuffs. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive water or direct heat sources, as this can degrade the natural materials.
