FAQs
What makes the Italia 70s trainers unique?
Their uniqueness comes from the direct inspiration drawn from classic 1960s and 70s adidas athletic footwear, featuring premium suede and signature retro detailing.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While they offer reliable traction and a comfortable fit for everyday wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regular brushing to remove dust and occasional use of a specialized suede cleaner for stains are recommended. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture and harsh cleaning methods.
What is the fit like?
These trainers have a low-profile fit, offering a sleek and comfortable feel for casual wear. They may not provide the same level of cushioning or support as dedicated running or training shoes.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged by water and stains. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of premium suede leather.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider using thin insoles or allowing time for the shoes to break in, as suede can stretch slightly.
Traction feels reduced
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and clean it with a damp cloth. The tread may also be worn down over time, which might necessitate replacement of the shoes.
