FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and walking, not for high-impact sports or running.

What material are the uppers made of?

The uppers are crafted from premium leather for durability and style.

Do these fit true to size?

The adidas Superstar series generally fits true to size, but individual foot shape can vary. If you prefer a loose fit, consider the standard size you wear in other adidas trainers.

How do I maintain the colour of my grey trainers?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material hydrated and maintain colour vibrancy.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is highly recommended not to machine wash leather shoes, as water and detergent can damage the leather, adhesives, and structure.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the classic rubber outsole used on Superstar models is typically non-marking, making them suitable for most indoor floor surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the material retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.

Difficulty cleaning the shell-toe

Use a magic eraser sponge or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a toothbrush to gently scrub the rubber surface.

Tight fit around the instep

Loosen the laces significantly to open up the eyelet area, then re-lace with a wider tension to provide more room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Melting Sadness x adidas Superstars remain in top condition, follow these recommendations:

  1. Break-in Period: Leather shoes often benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day outdoor use to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust. For the rubber shell-toe, a mild soapy solution and a soft brush can help keep the white finish looking crisp.
  3. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration. Using shoe trees can help maintain the silhouette when not in use.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to guard against unpredictable weather conditions.
