FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from premium suede leather.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Italia 70s are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer reliable traction for everyday activities but do not provide the specialized support needed for intense athletic training.
How do I clean my suede shoes?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for spots. Avoid water and consider using a suede protector spray for preventative care.
What does 'low-profile' mean in relation to these shoes?
Low-profile refers to the shoe's design, which sits relatively close to the ground and does not extend high up the ankle. This typically contributes to a sleek look and comfortable feel for casual wear.
What is the purpose of the cross detailing on the heel?
The cross detailing is a signature design element of the Italia 70s model, referencing its vintage heritage and distinguishing it as a classic design from the adidas archives.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and cause discoloration. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection, but heavy rain should be avoided.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in various adult UK men's sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the specific size range offered.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wearing them with thin socks can help break them in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a larger size would have been more appropriate, as they are designed for a snug, classic fit.
Color transfer from suede
This can sometimes occur, especially when the shoe is new or gets wet. Ensure you've used a suede protector spray. If color transfer is a significant issue, avoid wearing them with light-colored socks or trousers.
