FAQs
Are the Superstar 82 trainers true to size?
Most users find that the Superstar 82 fits true to size, though the leather structure may feel snug initially.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Always hand clean.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are lifestyle fashion trainers and are not intended for running or high-impact athletic sports.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, consistent with the classic design of the original series.
How do I prevent the white parts from yellowing?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which is the primary cause of yellowing over time.
Are these unisex?
While listed with gender categories, the design is highly versatile and widely worn as a unisex fashion piece.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors with thicker socks to gradually break in the material.
Scuff marks on the rubber shell toe
Use a damp melamine foam sponge or a soft cloth with mild soapy water to gently buff out marks.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Superstar 82 trainers maintain their look, keep them away from excessive moisture to protect the leather. For cleaning the iconic shell toe, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water to remove scuffs and dirt. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking. Check your lacing periodically to ensure a secure fit, and consider using a leather protector spray to guard against light stains.
