FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the adidas Originals Italia 70s sneakers is constructed from premium full-grain cow leather, ensuring durability and a classic look.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as lifestyle and casual sneakers. While they offer comfort for daily walking, they are not intended for high-performance running or athletic sports.

How do I clean the leather upper?

For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Is the sizing true to fit?

These sneakers generally run true to size with a `regular fit`. We recommend choosing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific brand sizing guides or customer reviews for more tailored advice.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture. However, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider applying a leather protector spray and ensure they are thoroughly air-dried if they get wet to prevent damage.

What kind of sole do they have?

The sneakers feature a lightweight EVA midsole for cushioning and a durable Gum 3 rubber outsole for reliable traction and grip.

Do they come in other colors?

While the Core Black model is a classic, the adidas Originals Italia 70s series may be available in other colorways or variations. Info needed: [Check the manufacturer's official website or retailer for current available color options.]

How do I maintain the shape of my shoes when not wearing them?

To help maintain the shoe's original shape and prevent creasing, we recommend using shoe trees made of cedar or plastic when storing them, especially for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Polish gently with a dry, soft cloth.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and outsole. Remove the insole (if removable), clean and dry both surfaces, then reinsert. If the squeak comes from the upper, a small amount of leather conditioner can help.

Rubber outsole looks dirty or discolored.

Scrub the outsole with a brush dipped in a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. For tougher marks, a melamine foam eraser (magic eraser) can be effective.

Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake out. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.

Gold foil 'Italia' wordmark fading.

Foil details can wear with friction over time. To minimize this, avoid abrasive cleaning directly on the foil and protect it from excessive rubbing. There are specific transparent protectors available for printed shoe details if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your adidas Originals Italia 70s sneakers arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace them, slip your feet in, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. The `regular fit` design means they should conform to typical foot shapes.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are an ideal choice for:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, shorts, cargo pants.
  • Smart-Casual Attire: Chinos, tailored shorts, relaxed trousers.
  • Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for year-round wear, though proper care is essential in wet conditions.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure your adidas Originals Italia 70s sneakers remain in excellent condition and last for years, follow these care instructions:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper and rubber outsole after each wear.
  2. Deep Cleaning (Leather):
  • For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
  1. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important for full-grain leather.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Outsole Care: Clean the Gum 3 rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution, using a brush to remove trapped dirt. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
