FAQs

What makes the adidas Originals Italia 60s unique?

Their uniqueness stems from their authentic retro design, inspired by a 1959 athletic shoe, combined with premium Italian leather construction and the distinctive serrated gum outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While they are based on an athletic shoe design, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning for intense sports.

How should I care for the leather and suede parts?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth or leather cleaner. Use a suede brush and eraser for the suede accents. Consider a protective spray for the suede.

What is the fit like for these trainers?

These trainers generally offer a standard fit. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, especially given the heritage design.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

They are not designed for heavy rain. While the leather offers some protection, excessive moisture can damage the material and suede. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.

What does 'Made in Italy' signify for these shoes?

It signifies a commitment to quality craftsmanship and the use of traditional shoemaking techniques associated with Italian manufacturing, contributing to the premium feel and durability.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Mild soap can be used for tougher dirt, but ensure it is rinsed thoroughly and the sole is dried.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used carefully.

Gum sole discoloration

Gum soles can naturally yellow over time, especially when exposed to sunlight. This is often a cosmetic change. Clean with a damp cloth.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
