FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The adidas Originals Superstar Slip On Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good support for everyday activities, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic performance or specialized sports.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately from heel to toe and compare it with the corresponding UK size. The specified UK size is 11.5 for this particular model.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand cleaning using a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
How durable is the laceless design?
The laceless design utilizes elasticated panels that are typically durable. However, like all elastic materials, they may lose some elasticity over extended periods of heavy use or improper care.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The trainers come with a cushioned footbed designed for comfort. For individuals requiring significant arch support, adding custom or after-market insoles may be beneficial.
What is the main difference between these and regular Superstar trainers?
The primary difference is the absence of laces. These models feature elasticated panels for a slip-on fit, offering convenience and a slightly different aesthetic, while retaining the core Superstar design elements like the shell toe.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation or loose fit
Ensure your socks are of appropriate thickness. If the fit remains too loose, consider adding an insole for a snugger feel or explore other models with adjustable closures if a tighter fit is critical.
Discomfort in the heel or arch
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider using after-market insoles or orthotics that provide targeted support for your foot type.
Stains or dirt on the upper
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed cleaning advice. For stubborn stains on the rubber shell toe, a magic eraser might be effective, but use with caution.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather or synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber midsole and outsole. For scuffs on the rubber, a magic eraser can be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Laces (if applicable for some variants, though these are slip-on): If any part of the shoe has laces or elasticated elements, ensure they are kept clean. For the elasticated panels, a gentle wipe is usually sufficient.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them.
