Do these shoes fit true to size?

Yes, they generally follow the standard adidas Superstar sizing. If you are familiar with this series, your usual size should be the correct choice.

How should I clean the leather exterior?

Use a damp, soft cloth with a leather-specific cleaner or mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Scuffing on the shell-toe

Gently clean the rubber shell-toe using a soft brush or a melamine foam sponge with a small amount of water.

Stiffness upon first wear

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Melting Sadness x adidas Superstars remain in top condition, proper care is essential:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap specifically formulated for leather products.
  3. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the shell-toe.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit true to the iconic adidas Superstar sizing. If you have worn the Superstar series previously, select your standard size.
