FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed with a 'Regular fit' and generally run true to standard UK adult sizing. We recommend purchasing your usual shoe size.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made from smooth leather, complemented by a suede T-toe for added texture and style.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof and are not recommended for heavy rain or very wet conditions, as it can damage the materials and cause discomfort.
How do I clean the white leather?
To clean the smooth white leather, gently wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap formulated for leather, then wipe off thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth and let them air dry.
What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, and leisure activities. They are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.
Does the gum rubber outsole offer good grip?
Yes, the grippy gum rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on various dry, urban surfaces for comfortable everyday movement.
How should I store my Italia 70s when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty or scuffed
Regularly clean the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a suede brush for the T-toe. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or white shoe cream can sometimes help blend minor marks.
Suede T-toe looks matted or discolored
Gently brush the suede T-toe with a soft suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure correct sizing to avoid persistent discomfort.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The gum rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces, but like most shoes, performance on wet or slippery surfaces may vary. Exercise caution and avoid running on slick ground as these are not specialized for extreme conditions.
Laces fraying or coming undone frequently
Replace worn laces with new ones of similar length and material. Ensure you are tying them securely; a double knot can prevent them from loosening during activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Italia 70s trainers is straightforward:
- Lace Up: Unlace the shoes fully and insert your foot.
- Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure they are not too tight, which can restrict circulation, or too loose, which can cause rubbing.
- Double Knot (Optional): If you prefer, tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during activity.
No complex setup is required; simply lace them up and enjoy.

- Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, casual social gatherings, light urban exploration, and leisure activities.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your adidas Italia 70s:
- General Cleaning (Leather):
- Gently wipe the smooth leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap (e.g., saddle soap or a shoe cleaner designed for leather) with a damp cloth.
- Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Suede T-toe Care:
- Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off dirt and restore the nap of the suede.
- For stubborn stains, a suede eraser can be used with light pressure.
- Avoid excessive rubbing or using water directly on suede, as it can stain.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the gum rubber outsole, removing any accumulated dirt or debris.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather and suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the white color.
