FAQs

What materials are the adidas Italia 70s made from?

The upper is made from smooth leather, and it features a synthetic lining with a rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The adidas Italia 70s feature a 'regular fit'. While they may stretch slightly with wear due to the leather material, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug initially. Trying them on is recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather and maintain their condition.

How do I maintain the gold foil branding?

Avoid scrubbing or applying harsh chemicals directly to the gold foil branding. Gentle wiping with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient to clean around these areas.

What is the primary intended use for these shoes?

These shoes are designed for casual, everyday wear and street style. They are not intended for athletic performance or rigorous physical activities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations over a few days to allow the material to soften and adapt to your foot shape.

White leather shows dirt or scuffs easily.

Regularly wipe shoes with a damp cloth. For scuffs or tougher dirt, use a specialized white leather cleaner or a mild leather-friendly soap and a soft brush. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or the 'surgeon's knot'. Check laces for wear and replace if frayed or stretched.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Adjust the tightness to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit.
  2. First Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

Compatibility

  • Clothing: Best paired with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, shorts, track pants, and t-shirts. The classic design complements a wide range of styles.
  • Occasions: Ideal for casual social events, daily wear, light travel, and urban environments.

Care

  • Cleaning the Leather:
  1. Gently wipe off loose dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Apply in circular motions.
  3. Wipe away cleaner residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Protecting White Leather: Consider applying a leather protector spray to repel water and stains, especially for the white color.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
