FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these Superstar II trainers is crafted from premium leather.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use, not high-impact sports.
What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?
Cold Cement construction is a method of attaching the sole to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures. It typically results in a flexible and durable bond suitable for casual footwear.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
This model is listed as UK Adult Size 6. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with adidas sizing charts, or try them on if possible, to ensure the best fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the significance of the 'Superstar II' model?
The Superstar II is a reimagining of the classic adidas Superstar silhouette, often featuring updated proportions or materials while retaining the core iconic design elements like the shell toe and 3-Stripes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly distributed. Consider wearing thinner socks or allowing a short break-in period for the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and laces. If the issue persists, consult a shoe repair specialist.
Leather creasing prematurely
Ensure proper fit. If the shoes are too large, creasing may be exacerbated. Use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape and reduce deep creases.
Discoloration from rubbing
If the black color is transferring to socks, ensure socks are dry. This is more common with new, dark footwear. A light spray of fabric protector designed for leather may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
