FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Superstar ST shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They feature a durable outsole for street grip but are not engineered for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on most reputable online retailers. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK, EU, or US sizing conversions provided. This specific model is listed with UK adult foot sizes.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper of the adidas Superstar ST shoes is made from tumbled leather, providing a premium feel and enhanced durability.
Can I wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these leather shoes. Spot clean using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products for the upper, and a brush for the outsole.
What does 'ST' in Superstar ST stand for?
While not officially specified by adidas in all product descriptions, 'ST' often denotes a specific design iteration or update to the classic Superstar model, in this case, featuring a reimagined shell toe and styling inspired by 2k retro trends.
How do I care for the leather to prevent damage?
Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft cloth. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Protect from excessive moisture.
What is the fit like?
The shoes have a regular fit. You can adjust the laces to customize the fit for comfort and security. Some users may find the redesigned shell toe takes a little time to get used to.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Adjusting the lacing can also help improve comfort.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a white eraser or a specialized leather cleaner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. For deeper marks, professional leather cleaning might be considered.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers grip, wet surfaces can reduce traction for any footwear. Exercise caution when walking on wet or slippery conditions.
Laces feel too large or cumbersome
The larger laces are a style feature. If they feel unmanageable, you can opt to replace them with standard-sized laces that match the shoe's color.

Care:
