FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Superstar 82 generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers and are not intended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I keep the white leather looking bright?
Regularly wipe them down after use and consider using a leather-safe protective spray to repel future dirt and stains.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Superstar 82 has a somewhat structured fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather takes a bit longer to stretch comfortably.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers feature high-quality leather for the upper, consistent with the classic design of the Superstar series.
Is the sole flexible?
While durable and supportive, the rubber outsole is designed for stability and grip, providing moderate flexibility for casual walking.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too stiff at the beginning
The leather upper will soften with time; wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to break them in gradually.
Scuff marks on the rubber shell toe
Use a soft-bristled brush with a small amount of warm water and mild detergent to gently scrub the rubber surface.
White leather is showing signs of dirt
Clean promptly with a damp microfiber cloth. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for white footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Superstar 82 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. The rubber shell toe can be scrubbed gently with a soft brush to remove scuffs.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair best with denim, chinos, or casual joggers, making them a cornerstone of any casual footwear collection.
