Size & Fit Notes
Most shoe batches on SuperBuy run half a size small compared to US retail sizing. If you are between sizes, size up. Width is typically standard D unless otherwise noted in the spreadsheet.
Material Context
Synthetic leather dominates the budget tier, while premium batches use full-grain leather or suede. Mesh breathability varies widely between running and casual models.
Style Outlook
In 2026, retro runners and chunky silhouettes remain popular. Minimalist designs are seeing a quiet comeback among repeat spreadsheet users.
Buying Tips
Check the Batch Code
Always cross-reference the batch code listed in the spreadsheet against known production runs. Mismatched codes often signal older or different-tier products.
Size Conversion First
Chinese sizing runs differently for shoes. Measure your insole length in centimeters and compare against the seller's size chart before ordering.
Sole Material Matters
Boost, Zoom, or standard EVA? The spreadsheet may abbreviate sole types. Know what you are actually getting before checkout.
Risk Notes
Bait-and-Switch Batches
Some listings swap the batch name between spreadsheet updates. Always screenshot the exact row before ordering.
Fragile Glue Joints
Budget-tier shoes in this category often show glue separation within weeks. Allocate budget for a mid-tier or higher batch if daily wear is planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "batch" mean in a SuperBuy spreadsheet?
A batch refers to a specific production run or factory version of a shoe. Higher-tier batches typically use better materials and more accurate molds.
How do I know my shoe size on SuperBuy?
Measure your foot in centimeters and match it to the seller-provided size chart. Never assume your usual US size will translate directly.
Are SuperBuy shoes worth it compared to local retail?
For limited or specialty styles that are hard to find locally, yes. For common mainstream models, compare total cost including shipping before deciding.
