FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The adidas Superstar 80s are primarily designed for casual wear and offer a classic style. While they provide comfort for walking and everyday activities, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense athletic performance.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Generally, measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the UK sizing guide.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather upper. Cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate shoe care products is the preferred method.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these adidas Superstar 80s trainers is made of leather.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
What is the difference between Superstar 80s and other Superstar models?
The '80s' designation often refers to specific retro iterations that more closely mimic the original 1980s designs, sometimes featuring premium materials or distinct construction details compared to contemporary versions.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from the shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or wearing them for a few more days to break them in. Ensure insoles are properly seated.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a magic eraser carefully on the rubber parts. Applying a leather conditioner can help maintain the leather's appearance.
Laces coming undone
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot if necessary. Replace laces if they are worn or slippery.
