FAQs

How do I clean the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe off any dirt or marks. For more stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Choose socks that complement the overall look, and consider the weather. Both short and tall socks work well, depending on your style.

How do I protect the shoes from water?

Apply a protectant spray designed for leather to repel water and stains.

Can I wear these for sports?

While stylish, these shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle use and are not recommended for intense athletic activities.

What is Sashiko stitching?

Sashiko stitching is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique used to reinforce or decorate fabric. It adds unique detail and visual interest to the sneakers.

Are the sizes true to size?

Generally, Y-3 Superstar sizes are consistent with standard adidas sizes. However, it's always best to check the size chart.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on the leather surface.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the material.

The stitching is coming loose.

Trim any loose threads carefully. If the stitching is significantly damaged, consider taking the shoes to a professional cobbler for repair.

The shoes feel uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using insoles for added comfort.
