FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or intense athletic activities.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas Originals, ensuring you select the correct UK adult foot size. These are unisex, so check measurements carefully.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather material, the construction, and the overall shape of the trainers.
What is the material of the shoe?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with a rubber outsole for durability and traction.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary for each individual, but generally, noticeable comfort is achieved within a few wears of moderate duration.
What does 'Afa Away' signify in the product name?
The 'Afa Away' designation typically refers to a specific colorway or minor design variation within the broader Superstar II series, often inspired by team or collection themes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear.
The leather may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Leather shows minor scuffs or marks.
For light scuffs, try using a soft brush or a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, consider using a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the shoe's color.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The traction is designed for general surfaces; be cautious on very slick or wet conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid excessive water saturation.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
