FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather and ensure longevity.

How do I find the right size?

These trainers are listed in UK adult men's sizing. We recommend checking adidas' official size guide or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these for sports?

While comfortable and durable, the adidas Superstar II Trainers are designed primarily for casual and lifestyle wear, not high-performance sports. For athletic activities, we recommend adidas' specialized sports footwear.

How often should I clean them?

Regular light cleaning (wiping down) is recommended after a few wears. A more thorough clean and conditioning can be done every 1-2 months, or as needed, depending on usage.

What's the best way to store them?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape and absorb moisture, especially after wear.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, the adidas Originals Superstar II Trainer features a premium cushioned leather upper, ensuring both comfort and durability.

Do they come with extra laces?

Info needed: Check product packaging or manufacturer's details for included accessories. Typically, adidas trainers come with one set of laces installed.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the surface and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for footwear. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Creases forming on the upper

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing. For existing creases, a warm, damp cloth and gentle massaging can sometimes help, followed by conditioning.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can often be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly applying baby powder or talcum powder underneath the insole before reinserting.

Dirt or scuffs on the rubber shell toe

Use a magic eraser (melamine foam) or a mild abrasive cleaner designed for rubber to gently scrub away marks. A soft brush with soap and water also works.

Unpleasant odor inside shoes

Ensure shoes are fully dry after wear. Use odor-absorbing inserts, sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (then vacuum out), or try shoe deodorizers. Allow shoes to air out between uses.

Care Instructions

Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your leather trainers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Shell Toe & Outsole: Clean the rubber shell toe and outsole with a brush and mild soap and water solution.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.
  4. Conditioning (Optional): Every few months, apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water.
