FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Superstar generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the leather material may feel snug initially before breaking in.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers, as this can damage the material and glue bonds; manual cleaning is preferred.

Are these suitable for sports?

While originally designed for basketball, they are now intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than performance athletic activity.

How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?

Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight and wipe them down regularly to prevent the accumulation of oils and pollutants.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Leather will naturally soften and conform to your foot shape over time, but it will not stretch significantly in length.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe area

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Scuffs on the shell toe

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner to gently buff away surface marks.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Superstars remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup.
  2. Stubborn Marks: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water on the rubber shell toe to remove scuffs.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or yellowing.
  4. Weather Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent leather spray if you frequently walk in damp conditions to protect the finish.
  5. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your desired tension to ensure proper midfoot support without restricting circulation.
