Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
The adidas Originals Superstar II are designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and do not provide the support or cushioning required for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or brand. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. The product description mentions a 'Regular 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 main difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?
The Superstar II often represents a closer adherence to original 70s/80s designs, focusing on classic materials and silhouette, while other models might incorporate updated technologies or materials.
How should I store my Superstar II trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of nubuck leather, offering a premium feel and distinct look.
Does the shoe have good arch support?
The Superstar II features a textile sockliner for comfort but is primarily a flat-soled lifestyle shoe. For individuals requiring significant arch support, an insole or orthotic insert may be considered.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Scuffs or dirt on the leather upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a small amount of mild soap on a cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance may be reduced on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For added confidence on wet surfaces, exercise caution.
Laces fraying or showing wear
Replace the laces with a new pair of standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of similar length and material for a proper fit and look.
