FAQs
What makes the Superstar ST different from the classic Superstar?
The Superstar ST features a premium suede upper and a redesigned, chunkier shell toe, offering a more pronounced retro aesthetic compared to the standard model.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaning products are recommended. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear them with a variety of socks, from thin athletic socks to thicker casual socks. The choice depends on your comfort preference and the desired look.
How does the sizing run for the Superstar ST?
The Superstar ST generally follows standard adidas sizing. However, due to the suede material and classic silhouette, some users may find them to fit a bit snug initially. It's recommended to check the size chart and consider thinner socks if you prefer a less snug fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the suede offers some resistance, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and damage to the suede material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide good traction on urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning products. Avoid water.
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider using shoe stretchers designed for suede. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Laces are worn or dirty
Remove the laces and hand-wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free of debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole or consulting a cobbler.
