FAQs
What materials are the adidas Italia 70s made from?
The upper is crafted from smooth white leather, the lining is textile material, and the sole consists of rubber and lightweight EVA foam. It also features a rubber toe cap.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running?
While they offer comfort and durability, the adidas Italia 70s are designed as casual lifestyle sneakers with vintage sporty style, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports. Their construction is optimized for everyday wear and street fashion.
How do I maintain the gold "adidas Italia" branding?
The gold foil branding is durable but can be sensitive to harsh rubbing. When cleaning, avoid scrubbing directly on the branding. Gently wipe around it with a soft, damp cloth if needed.
Do the adidas Italia 70s run true to size?
Based on standard adidas sizing, they generally run true to size for adults. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for sneaker fit. It's always best to refer to an adidas size chart if unsure.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some protection, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to preserve the leather and overall integrity. A water-repellent spray designed for leather can offer additional protection.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The lightweight EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption. This contributes significantly to the shoe's comfort, making it pleasant to wear for extended periods without excessive foot fatigue.
Troubleshooting
My white leather shoes are getting dirty and scuffed easily.
Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs, use a dedicated white leather cleaner or a magic eraser very gently. Consider applying a leather protector spray before wearing them in challenging conditions.
The shoes feel a bit stiff or uncomfortable at first.
Like most leather shoes, the Italia 70s may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape. Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly.
My shoes make a squeaking sound when I walk.
A squeak can sometimes be caused by moisture or trapped debris between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole and cleaning the area underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the materials rubbing; sometimes wearing them in further resolves this.

Care
To ensure your adidas Italia 70s maintain their premium look and extend their lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: For the smooth white leather, wipe down shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather.
- Spot Treatment: Address stains immediately. Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush for targeted cleaning.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather or EVA.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the leather and other materials.
