FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, emphasizing vintage style and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or performance sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
To clean the leather, gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas Originals shoes tend to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting the adidas size guide if you are unsure, and remember that leather may stretch slightly with wear.
What is an EVA midsole?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a soft, flexible, and lightweight material commonly used in shoe midsoles to provide cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the leather and affect durability. We recommend applying a leather protector spray for added resistance if needed.
What does '70s' in the name refer to?
The '70s' refers to the inspiration drawn from the classic adidas Italia silhouette that gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s. These shoes are a modern interpretation of that iconic era's design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Wearing thick socks can also help during this phase.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to gently buff the area. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product instructions carefully.
Soles become slippery or lose grip.
Dirt and debris can accumulate in the sole's tread, reducing grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and mild soapy water. Ensure the soles are completely dry before wearing again.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them air dry. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Gold foil 'Italia' branding starts to fade.
The gold foil is a delicate detail. Avoid rubbing the area excessively during cleaning. If fading occurs, unfortunately, it is difficult to restore, so preventative care is key.

The adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for straightforward use. Simply adjust the lace closure to achieve your preferred snugness. These shoes are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel, from jeans and chinos to shorts, making them a versatile addition to an adult male's wardrobe (this specific variant is UK 10.5). For care, the leather upper should be cleaned regularly to preserve its quality. Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. The synthetic lining can be wiped with a damp cloth. For the rubber sole, a brush and mild soap can remove grime. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
