FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Superstar generally fits true to your standard UK adult size, though the leather may feel stiff at first.
Can I wear these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by basketball history and do not contain the technical cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the material.
Is the material waterproof?
No, while leather is naturally resistant to light splashes, the suede and construction are not designed to be waterproof.
What is the primary difference between Superstar and Superstar ST?
The 'ST' models often incorporate specific suede details or design variations within the series, but both maintain the iconic shell-toe silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the laces fully and wear them around the house with thicker socks for short periods to allow the leather to stretch naturally.
Scuffs on the rubber shell toe
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft sponge to gently remove marks.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the fabric and remove surface dust.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential; use the traditional lacing system to adjust tension across the midfoot. For care, keep the leather components clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Since suede is sensitive to moisture, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt and a protective spray to guard against water stains. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive components of the shoe.
