 A great compromise shoe Aug 03, 2007
By dslamngu
I bought this shoe knowing the reputation of its close cousin, the Superstar II. So I went around and tried out both models, and though I knew that the originals looked a lot better, the Superstar 2G is altogether a more comfortable shoe. So there's the distinction! Superstar II for the look, 2G for practicality.
The rubber shell toe is definitely an interesting feature, since I've never worn anything like it before. The problem is it scuffs easily, think pencil eraser that doesn't slough off. The great thing is though that the shell on the 2G is streamlined; get out a toothbrush/toothpaste and it's clean. You'll have to do this every two weeks or so though to keep it looking decent. OTOH the Superstar II's shell has a deeper crosshatch pattern, so I'm not sure if it would be as easy to clean.
The silver stripes on the side are actually silvered threads that are woven perpendicular to the overall axis of the stripes. Occasionally things can get stuck, and on my particular pair the stripes CREASE when I walk! Probably not very noticeable but anyway you might want to know.
Weightwise this shoe is tremendously LIGHT. Also, since the tongue is hard and thick, you could easily walk around with the laces untied and tucked. It might feel tight at first up top but just keep the laces loose until the shoe gives.
Overall I've never been as happy about any pair for a long time! I love these shoes. If you have to pick a more fashionable shoe though, you might want to take a harder look at the classics.

Great shoes for heavy people Oct 04, 2009
By An Amazon Customer
I had the originals back in grammar school in 1969 & always loved them.
I have gained weight in the ensuing years & needed a very supportive shoe, so I looked into these again.
This is a great shoe with lots of support for very overweight people, & highly recommended for them.

Color-changing wonders! Feb 20, 2007
By Jesse M. Rodriguez
So I got them out, I said, "Wow, these are light-weight!" I liked them, I really did. Well, I took them for a walk. It was sunny winter day, birds heading south, cool winds whirling around my head, a great scene for a brisk walk down to the local university and back. A take a few steps and think, 'these are quite comfy.' I smile, another great purchase. I look down. I blink. I look down again to my amazement. The white leather uppers have started to change colors! A darker red at the seams and a lighter pink on the surface of the leather. I continue my walk. A pink storm begins to overwhelm my white beauties! Now, I'm not worried about it, you know, I can handle pink, but deep down inside, I really wanted them to be white. I finish my walk, my macho-ness slightly tainted, re-enter my home, take of my pink three-striped wonders, and set them down to think. They changed back! They are white again. Twas the sun that made them pink. The end.
Anyway, has this happened to anyone else??? Just wondering. Nice shoes, just kind of a strange surprise. Color-changing leather..what will they come up with next..
