FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The Superstar II Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or adidas. Generally, UK sizing for women's trainers corresponds to standard foot measurements. If unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to the provided size guide.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended for leather trainers. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?
The Superstar II often refers to specific iterations or re-releases that may feature subtle design variations or material updates compared to the original Superstar or other subsequent models.
How durable is the pink leather upper?
The premium leather upper is designed for durability in casual wear. However, like all leather, it requires proper care to prevent scratches, stains, and premature wear.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the pink and white colorway, the Superstar II model has been released in various colorways over the years. Please check retailer listings for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing significantly
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Stains on the white accents
Gently clean with a soft cloth and mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner for white leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the trainers with thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the leather. Alternatively, consider professional shoe stretching services if the tightness is significant.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try inserting a thin insert or talcum powder under the insole (if removable) to reduce friction.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the premium appearance of your adidas Originals Superstar II Trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole and Shell Toe: A brush or damp cloth can be used to clean the rubber components. Ensure all dirt is removed before storing.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for pink leather to help repel water and stains.
