FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Adidas Superstar II trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
Can I wear these for sports or running?
While durable, the Adidas Originals Superstar II is primarily designed as a casual streetwear shoe. It is not engineered with the specific support, cushioning, and flexibility required for high-performance sports, running, or intensive athletic activities. For those activities, we recommend specialized athletic footwear.
What is the best way to clean the black leather upper?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
How do I prevent creasing in the leather?
Creasing is a natural part of wearing leather shoes. To minimize it, avoid wearing them for extended periods without rest, use shoe trees when storing them, and keep the leather conditioned to maintain its suppleness.
Is the outsole slip-resistant?
The gluey rubber outsole features a zig-zag treading pattern designed to provide good traction on typical urban surfaces. While it offers reliable grip in most conditions, exercise caution on extremely wet or icy surfaces, as no shoe is completely slip-proof.
Are these suitable for all weather conditions?
The leather upper provides some protection from light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, we recommend wearing dedicated waterproof footwear to protect the material and ensure your comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream to moisturize and restore its luster. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
White 3-Stripes or shell toe are scuffed/dirty.
Use a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and a small amount of water to gently clean the rubber and non-leather areas. Be careful not to apply to the leather.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, this is due to trapped moisture or friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Remove insoles, sprinkle a little baby powder inside the shoe, then replace the insoles. If the squeak persists, it might be a manufacturing issue.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather trainers often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:

- Wipe off any cleaner residue with a clean, damp cloth.

- Cleaning the Rubber Shell Toe and Outsole:
- A mild soap solution and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can effectively clean the rubber components.
- Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
- Conditioning:
- Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
