FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Superstar generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up by half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended not to machine wash these leather trainers, as the cycle can warp the shape and degrade the leather quality.
Is the leather upper easy to clean?
Yes, the smooth leather surface is very easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth or a leather-safe cleaning solution.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. For long-distance running, it is recommended to choose a dedicated performance running shoe with more cushioning.
Does the white shell toe yellow over time?
Rubber components can oxidize with significant sun exposure. Regular cleaning and indoor storage will help maintain the white finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to maintain shape and mitigate deep creasing.
Difficulty putting the shoes on initially
Loosen the laces down to the fourth eyelet to widen the opening while the leather softens during the break-in process.
Scuff marks on the rubber shell toe
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge to gently buff away black scuffs without damaging the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Superstars remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines. Since these trainers are made of leather, avoid machine washing as this can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. For the white shell toe, use a soft-bristled brush to lift embedded grime. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources.
