FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, the adidas Superstar 82 generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer to try them on for a precise feel.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather finish and the integrity of the adhesive bonds.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the adidas Superstar 82 is designed to be a unisex trainer, suitable for all genders.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe them down after each wear with a dry or slightly damp cloth to prevent dirt from setting into the leather grain.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers meant for casual walking and daily wear, not for athletic running performance.
What should I do if the white sole starts to yellow?
Yellowing can often be mitigated using a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for rubber soles, or by storing them away from direct UV light.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the rubber shell toe
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of baking soda to gently buff the scuff marks away.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases over time.
Laces becoming frayed or discoloured
Replace standard laces with high-quality white flat cotton laces to restore a crisp, fresh appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK adult shoe size before ordering, as these trainers are available in a variety of sizing options within the Superstar 82 series. Regarding care, the white leather upper is the most critical part to maintain. It is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a mild leather-safe cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the sole construction. Keep them stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing of the materials.
