FAQs

How do I clean the leather upper of my Italia 70s sneakers?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities like running or training?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running, training, or sports.

What is the sole of these sneakers made of?

These sneakers feature a durable Gum 3 rubber outsole which provides traction and complements the retro aesthetic with its tri-colour design.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Info needed: [While fit can vary slightly, adidas Originals generally aim for consistent sizing. It's often recommended to consult adidas's official size chart for the most accurate guidance, especially for this specific UK 7.5 size.]

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

While the leather upper can withstand light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the leather. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What kind of lining do these sneakers have?

The Italia 70s sneakers feature a synthetic lining that is designed to mould to your foot, providing enhanced comfort.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper shows creasing or scuffs easily.

Leather naturally creases with wear. To minimize this, regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and store shoes with shoe trees to help retain their shape. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a black leather polish designed for athletic footwear.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

While the Gum 3 rubber outsole provides good grip, some surfaces (like very wet or icy ground) can still be slick. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Exercise caution on such surfaces.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear.

Ensure your laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Wear appropriate socks for cushioning and moisture-wicking. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or aftermarket insoles for personalized support, though this product features a comfortable synthetic lining.

Discoloration or fading of the 3-Stripes or branding.

Avoid exposing the sneakers to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Gently clean these areas with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, being careful not to rub aggressively.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the leather upper is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Italia 70s sneakers. Follow these tips to keep them looking their best:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wipe the affected areas. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  4. Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time. Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  5. Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  6. Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  7. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
