FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by a classic athletic silhouette, the Superstar Lux Made in Italy trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear due to their premium materials and leather sole construction. They are not intended for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the stacked leather sole?

Wipe the leather sole with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the sole in water. For deeper cleaning, a leather cleaner designed for soles can be used sparingly.

What is the difference between these and standard Superstar trainers?

The key differences are the premium materials (full leather upper and lining, stacked leather sole) and the 'Made in Italy' craftsmanship, which signifies a higher level of detail and artisanal quality compared to standard models.

Do the leather uppers require special treatment?

Yes, the premium leather upper benefits from regular conditioning with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying. Cleaning should be done with a soft cloth and appropriate leather cleaners.

What size should I order?

These are men's UK sizes. It is recommended to check the Adidas sizing guide for the most accurate fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. The leather sole may also offer less grip on wet surfaces. It's advisable to wear them in dry or moderately damp conditions and avoid heavy rain or puddles.

What does 'Lux' signify in the product name?

'Lux' typically denotes a more luxurious version of the standard product, indicated here by the premium materials and 'Made in Italy' craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Natural leather will crease with wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.

Squeaking sole

If the leather sole squeaks, it might be due to moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the squeak persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, or consult a cobbler.

Stiff feel

The stacked leather sole and premium leather upper may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in gradually. Conditioning the leather can also help.

Water marks on leather

Remove light water marks by wiping with a slightly damp cloth and allowing to air dry naturally. Avoid using direct heat. For significant water damage, consult a professional leather care specialist.
