FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Italia 60s?
The adidas Originals Italia 60s are inspired by the classic Italia silhouette that gained popularity in the 1960s, updated with contemporary materials and comfort.
What materials are used for the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from premium brown suede, complemented by 'Off White' leather for the 3-Stripes, T-toe, and heel cross.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and casual wear, these shoes are not designed for high-impact running. They are best suited for lifestyle and light recreational activities.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and allow to air dry. Avoid excessive water.
What is the purpose of the rubber toe cap?
The rubber toe cap is a design element inspired by the original model, providing added durability and protection to the front of the shoe.
Does the EVA midsole offer good cushioning?
Yes, the dual-coloured EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning for everyday comfort.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the Brown colorway with Off White accents, other color variations might exist within the Italia 60s series. Please check available product listings.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For persistent stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Laces are worn or broken.
Replace laces with standard shoe laces. Ensure the length and thickness are appropriate for the shoe's eyelets.
Shoes feel too tight after initial wear.
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with thin socks initially. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are affecting the fit.
Color transfer from suede to socks.
This can occur with new suede, especially in darker colors. It may diminish with wear. Ensure the suede is properly treated and conditioned.
