FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Superstar 80s generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Stick to manual cleaning methods.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is crafted from premium leather, providing a durable and classic finish.

Are these suitable for running?

These are designed as lifestyle/fashion trainers and do not provide the necessary cushioning or support for running.

Do I need to treat the leather?

Applying a leather protector spray can help repel water and prevent stains, but ensure it is suitable for your specific leather finish.

How do I maintain the white shell toe?

Regularly wipe the rubber toe cap with a damp cloth or a mild soapy solution to prevent dirt buildup.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels too stiff

Wear the shoes with slightly thicker socks for short periods at home to gently stretch and soften the material.

Scuff marks on the shell toe

Use a standard white eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently buff away surface marks from the rubber.

Creasing at the toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep leather creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable premium leather construction
  • Timeless design suitable for various fashion styles
  • Enhanced toe protection via the signature shell design
  • High-quality build consistent with the Superstar legacy

Cons

  • Leather may feel stiff upon initial wear
  • Limited breathability compared to mesh performance shoes
  • Cleaning requires specific leather-care products to maintain finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Superstar 80s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften naturally.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or dry out.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair best with denim, cargo trousers, or casual joggers, making them a staple for versatile wardrobes.
