FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Italia 70s made from?
These shoes feature a smooth leather upper, a synthetic lining for comfort, and a durable gum rubber outsole for traction.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for casual, everyday wear and style. They are not intended for high-performance running or other strenuous sports activities.
How do I clean the white leather on my Italia 70s?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for white footwear. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The adidas Originals Italia 70s are described as having a `regular fit`. Most users find adidas shoes to be true to size, but it's always recommended to check adidas's official size guide if you are unsure.
Are the Italia 70s waterproof?
The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray for added protection in wet conditions.
What is the 'cross detailing at the heel'?
The cross detailing at the heel is a distinctive design element inspired by adidas's archival styles from the 60s and 70s. It adds a unique visual touch to the shoe's classic aesthetic.
Can I wear these shoes in winter?
Yes, they can be worn in winter. However, due to the leather material and white color, it's advisable to apply a protective spray and avoid heavy snow, slush, or excessively muddy conditions to keep them looking their best.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dirty quickly.
Regularly wipe shoes with a damp cloth after each wear. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. Consider applying a protective spray to repel dirt and water.
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The leather upper will soften with wear. Ensure correct sizing. You can also use a leather conditioner to help moisturize and break in the material over time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly.
Suede T-toe looks matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on suede.
Shoes squeak when walking.
Sometimes squeaking can come from moisture between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole to dry it out. If it persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help reduce friction.
Outsole loses grip.
Clean the gum rubber outsole regularly to prevent dirt and debris buildup, which can reduce traction. Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the grooves.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for preserving the smooth leather upper and overall aesthetic.
