FAQs
What material are these adidas Superstar SH sneakers made of?
These sneakers feature a premium leather upper, providing both durability and comfort.
Are these sneakers suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the adidas Superstar line has a heritage in skateboarding. The durable leather upper and protective rubber shell toe offer good support and resistance for casual skateboarding or urban activities.
How should I clean the White/Dark Cream colorway?
For general cleaning, wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains or to maintain the leather's condition, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for white or light-colored leather. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.
Is this specific model (HP8713) unisex?
While many Superstar models are widely worn by all genders, this specific variant (HP8713) is officially listed as 'Male' in its attributes. However, the style is broadly appealing, so confirming the UK 7 size against your foot measurements is key for fit.
What does 'SH' in the model name stand for?
Info needed: 'SH' often denotes a specific variation or collection within the Superstar line, but its exact meaning is not detailed in the provided product information.
How do I ensure I get the correct size, as it's listed as UK 7?
This model is a UK size 7. It's highly recommended to consult the official adidas size chart for precise measurements and international conversions if you are unsure of your UK shoe size. Trying them on if possible is always the best way to confirm fit.
Can I wear these adidas Superstar SH sneakers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's longevity. For added protection, consider applying a water-resistant spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the white leather.
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner and a soft brush. Follow the product instructions for best results. For very light scuffs, a white sneaker cleaner stick or eraser might help.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This is often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder inside the shoe and on the bottom of the insole, then reinserting it. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Uncomfortable fit, especially during initial wear.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period to mold to your feet. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you selected the correct UK size 7. If discomfort persists, check your sock thickness or consider trying different insoles.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or a 'reef knot' variation. Consider replacing worn laces with new, slightly more textured ones if they are very smooth and slippery.

Care Instructions
To maintain the premium leather and iconic appearance of your Superstar SH sneakers, regular care is essential:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a quality leather protector spray to guard against water and stains before the first wear.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear. This prevents grime from setting into the leather.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks or scuffs on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth or brush. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Shell Toe Care: The rubber shell toe can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a gentle brush and mild soap solution.
- Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your leather sneakers, as this can severely damage the material and construction.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
