FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic sports?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for casual wear and street style, not for athletic performance or high-impact activities like running.
How do I determine my size?
adidas Originals generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for optimal comfort.
What is the best way to clean the 'Night Indigo' leather upper?
For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While leather offers some natural water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. For added protection, you can apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
What is the EVA midsole made of?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, flexible, and cushioned material commonly used in shoe midsoles to provide comfort and shock absorption for everyday wear.
Is the 'Italia' branding on the shoe embroidered or printed?
The 'Italia' branding features an elegant gold foil finish, which is typically a heat-pressed application for a premium look.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
As they are made with premium leather, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the leather to soften and mold to the unique shape of your foot, enhancing comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry, dull, or has minor scuffs
Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish designed for smooth leather. Gently buff to restore shine and moisture.
White 3-Stripes or midsole appear dirty or discolored
Use a soft brush or old toothbrush with a mixture of mild soap and water (or a specialized sneaker cleaner) to gently scrub the white areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes, a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe before replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is loose or if moisture is trapped.

To begin using your adidas Originals Italia 70s, simply unbox them and lace them up to your preferred tightness. For initial comfort, you may want to wear them for short periods to break in the leather. These sneakers are highly compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual clothing styles, making them a versatile choice for various occasions. For care and maintenance, it's crucial to properly look after the leather upper. Regularly wipe down the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning or to maintain the leather's suppleness, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply a leather protector spray for added resistance against water and stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
