FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Originals Italia 70s trainers?

The specific materials can vary, but these trainers typically feature a combination of textile and synthetic materials for the upper, with a rubber gum sole.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the Italia 70s are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or serious athletic training.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to check the size guide provided by the retailer or adidas. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the UK sizing chart for this model is advisable.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand wash using mild soap and a damp cloth only.

What does 'Gum sole' mean?

A gum sole is a type of outsole made from rubber, known for its durability and excellent grip, often associated with a classic, retro aesthetic.

What is the main difference between this Blue/White model and other colorways?

The main difference is the color palette. The core design, materials, and construction remain consistent across different colorways of the Italia 70s series.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Standard athletic or casual socks are suitable. The choice depends on personal preference and the activity.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensuring the tongue is properly positioned. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Gum sole appears dirty

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub the sole. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try adjusting the lacing to distribute pressure differently. If the shoes are new, they may need a break-in period.
