FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports or running?
No, the adidas Italia 70s are designed for casual wear and street style, not for athletic performance like running or high-impact sports. They offer comfort and style for everyday activities.
How do I best clean the white leather upper?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized white leather cleaner and conditioner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The adidas Italia 70s are described as having a regular fit. Most users find them true to their standard UK shoe size, but personal preference for fit can vary. Consult size charts if unsure.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain. For added protection, consider applying a suitable leather water repellent spray.
What is the material of the sole?
The shoes feature a rubber outsole, designed to provide reliable traction and durability for everyday wear on various urban surfaces.
What does 'cross detailing' refer to?
'Cross detailing' refers to a unique design element found on the heel of the shoe, contributing to its vintage aesthetic and distinct look.
Are these shoes only for males?
While often categorized for males, the classic and versatile design of the adidas Italia 70s can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates its style, regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dirty or scuffed easily.
Regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner and conditioner. Preventative leather protector sprays can also reduce staining.
Shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable when new.
Leather shoes require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Thinner socks might also help during this period.
Soles seem to lack grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean and free from dirt or debris, which can reduce traction. While designed for urban environments, they are not specialized for extreme conditions.
Shoes develop an odor after wear.
Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Leather shows creases or wrinkles.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather as it's worn. Proper storage with shoe trees can help minimize excessive creasing when not in use. Regular conditioning can keep the leather supple.
