FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Superstar generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Always clean them by hand.
Are these suitable for running?
These are casual lifestyle trainers and are not designed for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I keep the black color vibrant?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to prevent fading, and use black shoe polish if the leather shows signs of wear.
Do these provide arch support?
They feature standard cushioned insoles suitable for casual daily use; however, they do not have advanced orthopedic arch support.
What is the material composition?
The upper is primarily leather, paired with a classic rubber outsole and shell toe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Scuffs on the rubber shell toe
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away scuffs from the rubber surface.
Leather losing its sheen
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and maintain the deep black pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential. Since these are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied gently with a soft brush. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or paper stuffing to help them maintain their iconic structure.
