FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running or training?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s Trainers are designed as lifestyle footwear, emphasizing style and casual comfort rather than athletic performance.

What materials are these trainers made from?

They feature a smooth leather upper with suede T-toe detailing, a synthetic lining, a dual-coloured EVA midsole, and a grippy gum rubber outsole.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

These trainers have a regular fit. We recommend checking the adidas size chart if you are unsure, and selecting your standard UK shoe size.

Can I put my adidas Italia 70s trainers in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.

What is the 'Gold Italia wordmark' mentioned in the description?

The 'Gold Italia wordmark' refers to the distinctive gold foil 'Italia' text emblazoned on the side of the trainers, a signature detail of the Italia series.

Is the rubber toe cap just for looks or does it provide protection?

The rubber toe cap is integrated into the design to provide subtle added protection to the front of the shoe, enhancing durability while maintaining the aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks or dirt on the white leather

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialized white leather cleaner or a clean, damp magic eraser, rubbing lightly.

Suede T-toe looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away dirt and lift the nap. For oil stains, a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder can be applied, left overnight, then brushed off.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.

Outsole losing grip

Ensure the grippy gum rubber outsole is clean. Dirt or debris trapped in the sole's grooves can reduce traction. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Italia 70s Trainers maintain their pristine look and longevity, follow these care tips:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the smooth leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Suede T-Toe Care: For the suede T-toe detailing, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water or liquid cleaners directly on suede.
  3. Outsole Maintenance: Clean the grippy gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to the leather upper to guard against stains and water damage.
  5. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
