FAQs
How do I clean the white leather on my Italia 70s?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, apply a specialized leather cleaner with a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for everyday casual wear and comfort, not for performance running or strenuous sports activities.
What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
They feature a smooth leather upper, a synthetic lining for comfort, and a durable rubber outsole.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged exposure to water to protect the material.
How can I prevent the white soles from getting discolored?
Regularly clean the rubber outsole and sidewalls with a mild soap solution and a brush. For persistent discoloration, a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for soles can be effective.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Info needed: [General sizing advice from adidas for the Italia series is usually true to size, but trying them on is always recommended.]
What is the closure type?
The shoes feature a traditional lace closure, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
White leather looks dull or dirty easily.
Regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution applied gently with a soft brush. Keep a cleaning kit handy for immediate spot treatment.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from bottom to top. Experiment with different lacing techniques if standard lacing doesn't provide the desired fit.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of baby powder underneath it, and then replacing it. If the squeak is from the outsole, ensure it's clean and free of debris.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For light scuffs, a leather conditioner can sometimes buff them out. For deeper scratches, a leather repair kit or professional cleaning may be required.
Feet feel uncomfortable after long wear.
While these shoes are designed for comfort, individual foot needs vary. Consider replacing the standard synthetic lining with an aftermarket orthopedic or cushioned insole for added support if needed.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure your white leather adidas Originals Italia 70s remain in excellent condition and looking fresh, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Spot Treatment for Stains: For tougher marks or scuffs on the white leather, use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) applied with a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh solvents, as these can damage the leather and rubber components.
- Protect from Moisture: While the shoes can handle light moisture, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape as they air dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to clean dirt and debris from the rubber outsole for better traction and appearance.
