FAQs
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While durable, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style, not high-impact athletic activities.
How should I break in these shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot. Ensure the fit is comfortable from the start.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and construction. Clean them manually as per the care instructions.
What is the difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?
The 'II' often indicates a specific iteration or update to the original Superstar design, potentially with minor material or construction adjustments.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the leather and stitching are not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your usual fit for similar shoe types. The UK sizing is provided for reference.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
This is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use.
Discoloration of white stripes
Clean gently with a mild soap and water solution, or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Soles becoming slippery
Clean the rubber outsole with soap and water. For persistent slipperiness, consider a light scuffing of the sole or applying grip enhancers.
