FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from smooth, premium leather, giving the shoe a high-quality look and feel.
How do I clean my adidas Originals Italia 70s shoes?
For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed primarily for casual wear and street style, offering comfort and classic aesthetics. While they provide good traction and cushioning, they are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is inspired by the iconic adidas Italia silhouette that rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s, featuring a contemporary update while retaining vintage lines and signature detailing.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Adidas sizing generally runs true to size. It's recommended to select your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, referring to an adidas size guide or trying them on is advisable.
What is the sole made of?
The shoes feature a reliable rubber outsole for traction and a dual-coloured EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning and comfort.
Is the gold foil 'Italia' branding durable?
The gold foil branding is applied to be durable under normal wear. To maintain its appearance, avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical contact directly on the branding.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not specifically designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's condition. For wet conditions, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Apply a leather conditioner or polish designed for the specific leather type to restore its luster and cover minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be necessary.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Lacing techniques can also affect comfort; try loosening the laces or adjusting the way they're tied. For slight tightness, wearing them around the house with thick socks can sometimes help stretch the leather naturally over time. If discomfort persists, consider shoe stretchers or consulting a professional.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior or moisture within the sole unit. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeak persists and seems to come from the outsole, it may be a manufacturing issue.
