FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of nubuck leather.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The Superstar II are designed as lifestyle trainers, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the rubber shell toe?
The rubber shell toe can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.
What is the fit like?
These trainers feature a regular fit, designed for standard comfort. It is recommended to refer to sizing charts for the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the main difference between Superstar and Superstar II?
The Superstar II builds upon the original's legacy, often featuring subtle updates in materials or design details while retaining the core iconic elements like the shell toe and stripes. This specific model highlights nubuck leather and a textile sockliner for enhanced comfort.
How often should I clean my Superstar II trainers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For regular wear, a wipe-down after each use can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning or conditioning is recommended periodically, perhaps monthly or as needed based on dirt accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they soften.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks on leather.
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For nubuck areas, a suede brush or specialized nubuck cleaner may be more effective. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are fraying or worn.
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Ensure they are securely tied to prevent premature wear.
Slight color transfer from the stripes.
This can sometimes occur with new leather. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a leather protector spray, though test on a small area first.
