FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The adidas Superstar II typically runs true to size. We recommend checking an adidas specific size chart to compare your foot measurements to the UK 7 sizing for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
Due to the suede material, these sneakers are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions as suede can stain or be damaged by water. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for suede can offer some protection against light moisture.
How do I clean the white shell toe and sole?
The rubber shell toe and sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or a sneaker cleaner. An old toothbrush can help scrub away dirt from grooves and textures.
Will the suede fade over time?
Like most natural materials, suede can experience slight fading over extended periods, especially with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Proper care and storage can help preserve its color.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?
The adidas Superstar II is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports. Its construction is optimized for everyday comfort and style.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store your suede sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creases.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or flattened.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in one direction, to lift the nap and restore its texture. Avoid aggressive brushing which can damage the material.
Minor scuffs or shiny spots on the suede.
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the scuffs or shiny areas. For more persistent marks, a fine-grit sandpaper (like 400-grit) can very carefully be used, followed by brushing.
Suede is stained with liquid.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, absorbent cloth, without rubbing. Allow to dry, then gently brush. If the stain persists, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, applied sparingly.
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are not overtightened. The suede material may stretch slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks or ensuring your measured foot size matches UK 7 closely.
General dirt accumulation on the sole or shell toe.
Wipe rubber components with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, an old toothbrush can be used to scrub crevices on the sole or around the shell toe.

Care
Proper care for your suede Superstar II sneakers is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Regular Brushing: Use a soft-bristle suede brush (or a clean toothbrush) to gently brush off loose dirt and dust after each wear. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or dry marks, use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid rubbing.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a quality suede protector spray periodically to create a barrier against water and stains. Ensure the sneakers are clean and dry before application.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
