FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult footwear.

Can these be used for professional skateboarding?

Yes, they feature specific enhancements like Adituff and EVA sockliners tailored for skate performance.

How do I maintain the leather finish?

Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out.

Is this shoe different from the standard Superstar?

Yes, the ADV version includes specialized durability reinforcements and upgraded cushioning not found in the base model.

Can I replace the insoles?

The moulded EVA sockliner is designed for optimal performance, but it can be removed if you prefer using custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Tongue shifting during wear

Adjust the laces specifically through the tongue loop to ensure it stays centered.

Stiff fit upon first wear

Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the materials to soften and form to your foot shape.

Surface scuffs on the shell toe

Use a standard white eraser or a magic sponge to gently lift marks from the rubber surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced durability for high-wear skateboarding use
  • Superior impact absorption from the EVA sockliner
  • Classic, versatile aesthetic that pairs well with any casual outfit
  • Improved lockdown and fit through updated tongue construction

Cons

  • May feel stiffer than the standard casual Superstar model
  • Requires a brief break-in period due to reinforcement materials
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic preference

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Superstar ADVs last, clean them regularly by wiping down the leather upper with a damp cloth. For the iconic shell toe, a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush will remove scuffs easily. Avoid machine washing, as the adhesive used in the construction can be compromised by high heat and excessive water. When lacing, use the double-stitched eyestays to find a secure, comfortable tension that keeps your heel locked in place without restricting blood flow.
