FAQs

What material are these trainers made of?

The adidas Originals Superstar II trainers feature a leather upper.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner for tougher spots. Allow to air dry.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and daily comfort, not high-impact athletic performance.

What does the 'shell toe' refer to?

The 'shell toe' is the iconic rubber cap at the front of the shoe, providing a distinctive look and added durability.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Consult the adidas sizing guide for accurate measurements. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can offer some protection, these are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried afterwards.

What is the benefit of the perforated design?

The perforations are designed to improve ventilation, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged strenuous activity until comfortable.

Leather scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try a leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Discoloration from color transfer

Ensure socks are colorfast. For transfer onto the shoe, clean gently with a damp cloth. Preventative sprays may help reduce future transfer.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole may have reduced grip on very slick, wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
