FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Superstar 82 generally fits true to standard UK sizing.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for running or high-intensity athletic training.
How do I maintain the white color on the sole?
Regularly wipe the white areas with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to prevent dirt buildup.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather provides some resistance to light splashes, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
They feature standard flat insoles. If you require specific arch support, you may choose to swap the stock insole for an orthotic insert.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather with a durable rubber shell toe.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Stiffness in the shell toe
Wear thicker socks during the break-in period or use a leather conditioner on the surrounding upper to increase flexibility.
Surface scuffs on the rubber toe
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a non-abrasive sponge with a small amount of warm soapy water to lift scuff marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box, though wearing them for shorter periods during the first week will help the leather and shell toe soften to your foot shape. To keep the shoes in top condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for stubborn stains.
- Shell Toe Care: The rubber shell toe can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Lace Maintenance: If the white laces become dull, they can be machine-washed in a mesh bag to restore their brightness.
