FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or athletic activities?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While durable, they do not feature specialized athletic support or cushioning for sports performance.
How do I clean the white leather and suede parts?
For white leather, use a soft, damp cloth and a dedicated leather cleaner. For the suede T-toe, use a suede brush to remove dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always air dry.
Are the Italia 70s true to size?
Generally, adidas trainers tend to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the leather, suede, and adhesive of the trainers, leading to cracking, shrinking, or discoloration. Always clean them by hand.
What is the gum rubber outsole for?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction and durability, offering reliable grip on various surfaces, making them suitable for everyday urban environments.
How can I protect my white trainers from getting dirty quickly?
Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and suede footwear. This creates a protective barrier, making them easier to clean and resist stains. Regular, light cleaning also helps.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
Any comfortable casual sock will work. For optimal comfort and to reduce friction, consider breathable cotton or athletic socks designed for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
White leather shows dirt and scuffs easily.
Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner or a white sneaker cleaning solution. Prompt cleaning prevents stains from setting in.
Suede T-toe looks dull or has minor stains.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth and allow to air dry, then re-brush.
Gum rubber outsole is dirty and losing grip.
Clean the outsole with a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. Scrub thoroughly to remove embedded dirt and grime, then rinse and air dry.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather upper requires a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first, allowing the material to soften and mold to your feet naturally. Ensure you have the correct size.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Allow trainers to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are completely dry before storing.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the appearance of your adidas Originals Italia 70s, especially with their white leather and suede components.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for white footwear.
- Suede T-Toe Care: The suede portion requires special attention. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive moisture.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the gum rubber outsole, removing any trapped dirt for optimal grip.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks on white leather, a small amount of diluted white vinegar or a specialized white shoe cleaner can be applied carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and dirt.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack leather or damage suede.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
