FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

These are an adult UK Size 2. While generally true to size, it's always recommended to consult the official adidas size chart for adult footwear and consider measuring your foot for the most accurate fit, especially for smaller sizes.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

The adidas Originals Superstar is designed primarily for casual wear and style, not for high-performance running or intense sports. Its construction provides comfort and durability for everyday activities.

How do I care for the leather and synthetic upper?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For optimal protection, you can use a leather protector spray. Always air dry your shoes.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The molded sockliner provides a comfortable and snug fit, offering basic cushioning. For individuals requiring specific arch support, custom orthotics or insoles may be considered.

What does 'serrated 3-Stripes' mean?

The serrated 3-Stripes refer to the iconic three stripes on the side of the shoe, which have a distinctive zig-zag or saw-tooth edge, a signature design element of adidas Originals.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

The leather and synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. For wet conditions, applying a water-repellent spray is recommended, but avoid heavy rain or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New leather and synthetic materials can feel rigid at first. Wear your Superstars for short periods over a few days to break them in. The materials will soften and conform to your foot with natural movement.

Squeaking sound coming from the shoes.

A common cause is moisture or friction between the insole/sockliner and the shoe's base. Try removing the molded sockliner, dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the sockliner. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Outsole or shell toe is difficult to clean.

For tough grime on the rubber outsole or shell toe, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution or a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply with a stiff brush, scrub gently, and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Care

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For the rubber outsole and shell toe, use a soft brush or old toothbrush with soapy water to remove dirt.
  2. Drying: Air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to the upper to guard against water and stains, extending the shoe's lifespan.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain shape and material integrity.
