FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as casual lifestyle trainers, inspired by vintage football aesthetics. They are not engineered for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports.

How do I determine my correct size?

These shoes are listed in UK sizes. It is generally recommended to stick with your usual adidas UK shoe size. If unsure, you may refer to an adidas size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

While the leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the leather and suede. We recommend applying a protective spray for leather and suede to enhance water repellency.

What kind of outfits pair well with the Italia 70s?

Their vintage and streamlined design makes them highly versatile for casual wear. They pair excellently with jeans, chinos, shorts, and track pants, complementing both laid-back and smart-casual aesthetics.

What are the primary materials used in these trainers?

The main materials are a supple 'Night Indigo' leather upper, soft suede overlays, a rubber toe cap for protection, and a dual-coloured EVA midsole for cushioning.

How durable is the sole?

The low-profile rubber outsole is designed for everyday casual wear, offering good traction and durability for urban environments. It is not intended for rugged terrain or extreme conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct UK size (this pair is UK 11). Adjust lacing for a snug yet comfortable fit. Consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses.

Scuffs or marks on the leather upper

For light scuffs, a damp cloth can often clean them. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner or polish in a matching color, applying gently with a soft cloth.

Suede overlays appear matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dirt. Brush in one direction. For dry stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Do not use water.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes

Allow shoes to air out naturally after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and air them separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing).

Sole starts to separate or wear prematurely

This is uncommon with normal use. Check the manufacturer's warranty information for potential repair or replacement. Avoid excessive friction or improper cleaning methods that could degrade adhesives.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Italia 70s:

  • Cleaning Leather: For the 'Night Indigo' leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt from the suede overlays. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on suede.
  • Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede before first wear to help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction.
