FAQs
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
The Superstar II trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas Originals or compare with a well-fitting pair of trainers. Note that sizing can vary slightly between models.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, sole construction, and overall shape of the shoe.
What is the best way to clean the signature rubber toe cap?
The rubber toe cap can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. A soft brush can also be used.
How often should I condition the leather upper?
It's recommended to condition the leather every few months, or whenever the leather appears dry, to keep it supple and prevent cracking. This frequency can increase if exposed to harsh weather.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides black and white?
The Superstar II model is most commonly found in the classic black and white colorway. Specific color availability may vary by retailer and season.
What does 'cemented sole' mean?
A cemented sole means the sole is attached to the upper using strong adhesives. This method ensures durability and a secure fit but may offer less flexibility than stitched constructions.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Slight discoloration on white rubber parts
Use a magic eraser or a specialized rubber cleaner with a soft cloth to gently remove marks. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The material will soften with use.
Water spots on leather
Allow to dry naturally. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and appearance. Consider using a waterproofing spray for future protection.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole and Toe: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and scuffs from the rubber components. Mild soap and water can be used for stubborn marks.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Consider using shoe trees to help preserve the structure.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in potentially wet conditions.
