FAQs
Are the adidas Originals Italia 70s suitable for running or sports?
No, these shoes are designed for casual wear and street style. While comfortable for everyday walking, they are not engineered for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports.
How should I clean the leather upper of my Italia 70s?
To clean the leather, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The adidas Originals Italia 70s feature a regular fit. Most users find them true to their usual shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit for your comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While leather offers some natural resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the material and its appearance. For added protection, consider applying a water-repellent leather protector.
What is the purpose of the EVA midsole?
The dual-coloured EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and support. This material helps absorb impact and offers comfort for everyday walking and standing.
How durable is the gold foil 'Italia' branding?
The gold foil branding is carefully applied for a premium look. To maintain its integrity, avoid harsh rubbing or abrasive cleaning directly over the foil. With proper care, it should remain intact for a significant period.
What is the rubber toe cap for?
The rubber toe cap serves to enhance the shoe's durability by providing an extra layer of protection to the front part of the shoe, guarding against scuffs and minor impacts during daily wear.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
The leather upper is developing creases.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing them. Regularly condition the leather to keep it supple, which can reduce the prominence of creases.
Scuff marks or minor abrasions on the leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner or conditioner, rubbing in a circular motion. A leather dye pen can also be used for deeper color restoration if needed.
The rubber outsole seems to be losing its grip.
Ensure the outsole is clean of dirt, mud, or debris, which can reduce traction. Use a brush and mild soap to clean the treads thoroughly. Avoid walking on extremely wet or oily surfaces if possible.

Setup

- Apparel: Jeans, chinos, shorts, joggers, casual trousers, and relaxed-fit shirts.
- Environments: Ideal for city walking, social gatherings, casual work settings, and daily errands.

Care Instructions: Preserving Your Premium Leather
Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look and feel of your leather Italia 70s.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, *damp cloth* to remove dirt and dust after each wear.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before wearing them in potentially wet conditions.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing when not in use. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap and water as needed to maintain traction.
