FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for casual wear and style, not for high-performance running or athletic sports. Their construction prioritizes comfort and heritage aesthetics over athletic support.
How do I best clean the 'Night Indigo' leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for footwear. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Generally, adidas Originals footwear tends to run true to size. However, for the best fit, it's always recommended to consult the official adidas size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, it's advisable to use a protective water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear to help maintain their condition.
What is the EVA midsole and what are its benefits?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and soft material used in the midsole to provide excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and comfort for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dirty.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner designed for footwear, then wipe off with a clean cloth. Consider applying a leather conditioner to restore luster.
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather upper may feel stiff at first. Wear the shoes regularly for short periods to break them in, allowing the leather to mold to your foot shape naturally.
Gold foil 'Italia' branding is showing signs of wear.
Foil branding can naturally wear over time with use. To minimize wear, avoid scrubbing this area directly during cleaning and handle with care.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole.

They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and chinos to shorts and casual dresses. For care, the premium leather upper benefits from regular maintenance. Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Applying a leather conditioner periodically can help keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and condition.
