FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities like running or basketball?
No, the adidas Superstar II Suede Sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for high-impact sports.
How often should I clean the suede?
It's best to clean suede as needed, especially if you notice dirt or stains. Regular light brushing after wear can help prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning should be done sparingly to preserve the material.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
Absolutely not. Machine washing can severely damage the suede, cause colors to bleed, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always opt for hand cleaning methods specific to suede.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Generally, adidas Superstar models tend to run true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific sizing guides from retailers.
What is the best way to protect the suede from future damage?
The most effective way is to regularly apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains, making them easier to clean if they do get dirty.
Can I wear these sneakers in winter?
While they offer a classic look, suede is not ideal for wet or snowy winter conditions. Moisture can stain and damage the material. For colder, dry conditions, ensure proper protection is applied.
What if the suede nap gets flattened in one spot?
You can usually restore the nap by gently brushing the affected area with a suede brush. For more stubborn areas, lightly steaming the suede (not directly soaking) and then brushing can help lift the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dull.
Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore the texture and vibrancy of the suede.
Water stains on the suede.
Allow the sneakers to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a very fine grit sandpaper (with extreme caution) to gently rub the stain. If persistent, a specialized suede cleaner may be required.
Dirty or discolored white laces.
Remove the laces from the shoes. Hand wash them separately using a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Unpleasant odor inside the sneakers.
Insert shoe deodorizer balls or sachets of baking soda into the sneakers overnight. Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly after wear. Replace insoles if the odor persists.
Scuffs or marks on the rubber shell toe or sole.
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized sneaker sole cleaner. Gently rub the affected areas. A magic eraser can also be effective for stubborn marks.

Care Instructions for Suede
Maintaining the premium look and longevity of your suede Superstar IIs requires specific care:
- Protection is Key: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions, especially after cleaning.
- Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush (with stiff, usually brass, bristles) to gently brush away dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Always brush in one direction to maintain consistency.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner designed for footwear. Follow the product's instructions meticulously, using a minimal amount of cleaner and avoiding saturation.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing your sneakers in rain, snow, or excessively wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape, then let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape.
