What is the purpose of the cross detailing on the heel?
The cross detailing is a signature design element of the Italia 70s model, adding a distinctive retro aesthetic and nodding to its archival origins.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining or discoloration.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoe shape seems off after wear
Use shoe trees or stuff the shoes with paper when not in use to help maintain their shape. Allow them to air out between wears.
Laces are wearing out
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For persistent slipperiness on smooth surfaces, consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector, though this may alter the shoe's original profile.
