FAQs
What are the primary materials used in the adidas Originals Italia 70s?
The primary upper material is premium nubuck leather, combined with synthetic materials. The sockliner is textile, and the outsole is rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as lifestyle or casual shoes. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or training.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to a standard UK sizing chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the chart provided by adidas Originals or the retailer.
How should I clean the nubuck leather?
Gently brush the surface with a soft brush or use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid washing with water or harsh detergents.
What does the 'Italia 70s' designation mean?
It signifies a design that revisits and modernizes the classic adidas Italia shoes from the 1960s and 1970s, known for their athletic heritage.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, nubuck leather is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, and if they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the fit like?
The shoes feature a regular fit with a lace-up closure, allowing for adjustment. They are designed for comfortable, everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck leather appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner or eraser. For minor marks, a soft brush can often remove surface dirt. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Rubber outsole shows signs of wear.
Regular cleaning of the outsole can help prevent excessive wear. For significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair service.
