FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Superstar generally fits true to size, though some users with wider feet prefer going up a half size due to the structured nature of the shell toe.
Can these be worn for sports?
While they were originally basketball shoes in the 70s, they are now designed as lifestyle trainers and lack the modern technical support found in dedicated performance footwear.
How do I keep the white leather looking new?
Use a water-repellent spray designed for leather and wipe them down regularly to prevent dirt from settling into the grain.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally fixed, but they can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary for arch support.
Does the rubber toe turn yellow?
Like many vintage-inspired trainers, the rubber can eventually yellow with heavy UV exposure or age; regular cleaning helps delay this process.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper is showing scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle eraser to buff out surface marks.
The rubber shell toe has become discoloured
Wipe with a melamine foam sponge or a mixture of baking soda and water to lift stubborn stains.
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to create a more secure heel lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Superstars remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Since the shoes feature a structured leather upper and a rigid rubber shell toe, wear them for short durations indoors before full-day outdoor use to allow the material to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For the rubber shell toe, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient to restore the white finish. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Lace Management: The flat cotton laces should be tightened to accommodate your foot shape, ensuring the padded collar sits securely against the ankle to prevent heel slip.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to yellow over time.
