FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Superstar line generally runs true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather upper snug at first.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the leather and the rubber adhesive, potentially causing the shoe to lose its shape.
Are these suitable for sports or the gym?
These are lifestyle trainers based on vintage basketball designs. While they offer stability for light activity, they lack the high-performance cushioning required for serious athletic training.
What is the primary material of the upper?
This specific variant uses a high-quality leather upper, which is known for its durability and classic appearance.
Do the shoes come with extra laces?
The product typically comes with the standard set of white or color-matched laces attached.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels too stiff and uncomfortable around the toe area.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to help stretch and soften the leather gradually.
The rubber shell toe shows scuffs after regular wear.
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive household cleaner to gently buff away scuff marks.
Laces frequently come untied.
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets to increase friction and maintain tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Superstar trainers last, follow these guidelines for care and maintenance:
- Initial Fit: Use the laces to adjust the tension across the midfoot. Ensure the tongue is centered to prevent discomfort during long walks.
- Cleaning: Since the exterior is leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Shell Toe Care: The rubber shell toe can be scrubbed gently with an old toothbrush and soapy water to remove scuffs and restore the original finish.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the leather to crack or the rubber to discolor over time.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying out.
