FAQs

How do I clean the white 3-Stripes and shell toe?

For the white 3-Stripes and rubber shell toe, use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap solution. Gently scrub the areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners to prevent discoloration.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While the Superstar II has a sports heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For running or intense sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities to provide optimal support and performance.

What is the best way to protect the leather from water and stains?

To protect the leather, apply a suitable leather protector spray, following the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against water and stains, but it does not make the trainers waterproof. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.

Are these trainers true to size?

adidas Superstar II trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying a half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can I put my leather Superstar II trainers in the washing machine?

No, it is strongly advised not to put leather trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents, agitation, and water can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand as described in the care section.

How durable are the soles?

The Superstar II trainers feature durable rubber outsoles with a zig-zag treading pattern designed for reliable grip and longevity. With regular use and proper care, the soles are built to withstand everyday wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Trainer squeaks when walking

Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a bit of talcum powder, and then reinserting the insole. If it's the sole, ensure it's clean.

Leather looks dull or scuffed

Clean the area gently with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, use a specialized black leather conditioner or polish. Apply sparingly and buff with a clean, dry cloth.

Trainers develop an odor

Remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure trainers dry completely if they get wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction for longevity
  • Excellent grip with zig-zag treading
  • Iconic and versatile style for various outfits
  • Comfortable cushioning for everyday wear
  • Protective rubber shell toe design

Cons

  • Leather requires specific cleaning and care to maintain appearance
  • Primarily a lifestyle shoe, not optimized for intense athletic performance
  • Black color may show dust or scuffs more readily
  • Can be less breathable than trainers with mesh components

These trainers require no special setup; simply unbox and enjoy. They are designed for adult males in a UK size 8.5. For proper care, regularly wipe down the Core Black leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the leather. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. The rubber shell toes and outsoles can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water. Proper care will help maintain the premium look and extend the lifespan of your Superstar II Trainers.
