Not sure if it helps get 100% of the bleed out, but soaking em in cold water w/ a cup of vinegar does the trick most/all of the time! Try it out - but of course wash em like normal after you've done the vinegar treatment, then rock em....

Thanks for the tip KT. What I've done lately is a little strip of cloth inside the hem/leg. No bleed at all.

I don't ever wash my jeans. But I have taped the inside hems. I suppose I'll do it with these. Not too worried about the stupid nylon '80s laces - I'm sure I could get them clean or flip them if they get too messed up

No worries gents! The little lady told me 
And they know how to take care of their fav goods! The tape/cloth thing works, but too much effort still IMO - I'm too lazy to go that far....I'm a tad paranoid w/ some kicks so I've done the vinegar thing 1-3x before washing them inside out (to keep the color rich i.e. for dark denim) in the machine, OR soaking them in a basin...been quite a while since I've had denim bleed (and I've worn nothing but dark denim for a while), so I'm happy!
P.S. Lorrie, next time we hook up, don't wear denim....

Squid, if they're too loose for you, I'm sure a few members might be willing to take them off you.

If you're UK 10.5 and they fit too loose for you I might be interested – I'm a UK 11
Let me know
Btw, what about the rest of you guys, is the sizing off and wrong on the label/box?
Usually US 12 is the same as UK 11.5 and not UK 10.5...
Superstars are indeed super...

i got a reply the other day, cos i asked why i hadnt had confirmation like all of you guys, they said they were still waiting for another item (clothes) i bought to come in....
so i asked "so ive definetely secured a pair"....
no reply... i take that as a yes though
they certainly arent good with their emails
