FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by athletic shoes, the Italia 60s are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. The gum sole offers decent grip but may not provide the advanced support or traction required for intense athletic activities.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the product's size chart or compare with other adidas trainers you own. The specific size (e.g., UK 10.5) indicates the foot length in UK sizing.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and glue construction of the trainers.

How durable is the leather upper?

The leather upper is made from supple, high-quality leather, which is durable for everyday wear. Proper care, as outlined in the guide, will extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.

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

It signifies a commitment to quality craftsmanship and traditional shoemaking techniques, reflecting the heritage and elegance associated with Italian manufacturing.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The product information indicates this specific model is yellow with Night Indigo accents. While other colorways might exist in the broader Italia 60s range, this guide pertains to the yellow variant.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

It is best to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for genuine leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize extreme creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Gum sole becoming sticky

Exposure to excessive heat can cause gum rubber to become sticky. Store in a cool environment and clean with a damp cloth. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot cars.

Discoloration of leather

Direct sunlight or certain cleaning agents can cause discoloration. Use appropriate leather care products and store away from UV light.

Suede material looks worn

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to restore its texture. Protect with a suede protector spray.
