These shoes feature a regular fit. For the best accuracy, it's recommended to refer to the official adidas sizing guide and measure your foot. If you're between sizes, consider trying both.

No, the Italia 70s are designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While they offer comfort for everyday walking, they do not provide the specialized support, cushioning, or stability required for running or high-intensity sports.

To clean the leather, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals and fully immersing the shoes in water.

The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While it can withstand light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the material. For wet weather, consider waterproof footwear.

The 'Gum 3 rubber outsole' refers to the specific type of natural rubber compound used for the sole. It's known for its excellent grip, durability, and classic 'gum' color and appearance, contributing to the shoe's vintage aesthetic.

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear as it conforms to your foot. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing the shoes and avoid wearing them for prolonged strenuous activities that flex the leather excessively. Regular conditioning can also help keep the leather supple.

'Low-profile' describes the shoe's design, indicating that it sits closer to the ground and has a sleeker, less bulky appearance. This contributes to its classic, understated, and versatile style.

This is common with new leather shoes. Continue to wear them for short periods to break them in. The leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot for increased comfort. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Gently clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and nourish the material.

The Gum 3 rubber outsole can collect dirt and debris, reducing traction. Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush with warm, soapy water to thoroughly clean the tread patterns. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely.

Ensure you wear appropriate socks to absorb moisture. Allow the shoes to air out between wears. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

For light scuffs, a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner or polish in a matching color can often buff them out. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be necessary.
