Super-Star buyers report a generally true-to-size fit in whole EU sizes only, with some heel rubbing during break-in and some wearers finding the fit runs slightly small. This listing is navy with a rubber sole and leather upper across a wide colorway and size range. Between sizes, plan to size up.

Fit notes
Buyers report Super-Stars generally fit true to size, but only whole EU sizes are offered, so those between sizes should size up. Some Chinese-speaking buyers find them slightly small: a wide-footed US 8.5 wearer found EU 38 wearable but EU 39 comfortable and kept 39. The listing carries a separate women's and men's 40.
Buy if
You want a low-top lace-up leather sneaker with a stated lamb-skin lining and can order a whole EU size. Buyers describe a short break-in, so this suits someone willing to wear no-show socks through the first few wears if heel friction shows up.
Skip if
You need half sizes, or a wide fit you can dial in precisely — buyers report whole EU sizing only and mixed experiences at the small end. If heel friction on a new leather sneaker is a dealbreaker, treat break-in as a real variable here.

Buying FAQ
Buyers generally say yes, with the caveat that sizes come in whole EU steps only — so if you sit between sizes, plan to move up. Some Chinese-speaking buyers report the Super-Star runs slightly small, so a wide-footed wearer may want the larger option.
Heel rubbing and blisters are a recurring buyer complaint, and some wearers reduce friction with no-show socks. That said, reviewers also describe a short break-in of only a few hours on the leather upper.
Buyers checking quality look for consistent, clean stitching, a raw unfinished interior, and no visible glue residue, since messy stitching near the toe and heel counter is where problems tend to show.
The listing states a leather upper, lamb-skin lining, natural rubber outsole, and a Phylon (double-foam) midsole, in a cemented low-top lace-up build. These are catalog specifications, not an independent assessment of this pair.
The listing marks them unisex, and the size run includes both a women's 40 and a men's 40, so pick the one that matches how you normally order.
