FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Originals Superstar ADV generally fits true to your standard UK size, though the reinforced structure may make them feel snug initially.
Can I use these for casual walking?
Absolutely. While they feature skate-specific enhancements for durability and shock absorption, their classic aesthetic makes them excellent for everyday casual use.
How do I maintain the rubber shell-toe?
The rubber shell-toe is durable and easy to clean. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth using mild soap to remove scuffs and dirt.
What is the benefit of the Adituff layer?
The Adituff layer is a reinforcement added to high-wear areas to prevent the upper material from tearing when exposed to rough surfaces like griptape.
Is the sockliner removable?
The moulded EVA sockliner is designed to provide optimal support, but it can usually be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Tongue shifting to the side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue loop if provided, or adjust the tension of the top eyelets to secure the tongue in place.
Foot feeling restricted or stiff
Loosen the laces slightly during the first few days of wear to allow the materials to break in, then re-tighten once the shoe has molded to your foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increased durability through hidden Adituff reinforcement
- Enhanced shock absorption from the moulded EVA sockliner
- Reliable lockdown fit with updated tongue construction
- Classic style that bridges the gap between skate performance and daily wear
Cons
- Structured design may feel stiff during the first few wears
- Reinforced materials may limit breathability compared to mesh runners
- Limited to specific colourways and classic silhouettes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Superstar ADV Trainers last, it is important to lace them properly to take advantage of the updated tongue construction. For the best performance, tighten the laces to ensure a snug fit around the midfoot, which prevents the foot from sliding inside the shoe during maneuvers.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and debris from the surface after every session.
- Wipe the iconic rubber shell-toe with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its appearance.
- Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the structural integrity and the adhesives used in the sole construction.
- If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
