FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Italia 70s made from?
These sneakers feature a premium 'Cloud White' leather upper, a synthetic lining for comfort, and a durable rubber outsole with a dual-coloured EVA midsole.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Italia 70s are designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, inspired by vintage athletic styles. They are not intended for high-performance running or sports activities, but rather for everyday wear and comfort.
How do I best clean the white leather on these shoes?
For best results, use a soft, damp cloth for light marks. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized leather cleaner with a soft brush. Always allow them to air dry naturally, and avoid abrasive cleaners or materials.
Are they true to size?
Generally, adidas sneakers tend to run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. We recommend checking your usual adidas size. If unsure, measure your foot length and consult a size chart. > Info needed: [Specific sizing advice for this model]
Can I wear them in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance, it's not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain can damage the leather. Applying a high-quality leather waterproofing spray before wear is highly recommended for protection.
What type of sole do these shoes have?
They feature a distinctive tri-colour rubber outsole for durability and grip, complemented by a dual-coloured EVA midsole that provides lightweight cushioning for comfortable everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dirty or scuffed quickly.
Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated white leather cleaner and a soft brush. Consider applying a leather protector spray to minimize future stains.
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 mould to your feet. Wearing appropriate socks can also help.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes moisture trapped between parts of the shoe can cause squeaking. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe under the insole. If it's the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris that could reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern; if severely worn, grip will naturally decrease.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Italia 70s sneakers, especially given their leather construction and white colour.
- Regular Cleaning:
- For light dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth immediately.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush.
- Clean the rubber outsole and toe cap with a brush and soapy water.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Drying:
- Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or discolour the leather.
- You can stuff the shoes with paper towels or shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection:
- Apply a leather protector spray or waterproofing spray designed for white leather before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
- This helps repel water and stains, making cleaning easier.
- Storage:
- Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If storing for extended periods, use shoe trees to help maintain shape and prevent creasing.
