FAQs

Are the adidas Originals Italia 70s true to size?

Generally, adidas Originals footwear tends to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the official adidas sizing chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can potentially damage the leather. For added protection, consider applying a water-resistant spray designed for leather footwear.

What is the EVA midsole made for?

The dual-coloured EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole is a lightweight and flexible material designed to provide cushioning and shock absorption. It contributes significantly to the shoe's comfort for everyday wear.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as lifestyle and casual sneakers. They are not engineered with the specific support, cushioning, or traction required for running, training, or other athletic sports. Using them for such activities may lead to discomfort or premature wear.

How do I prevent creasing in the leather?

Creasing is a natural part of wearing leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size. Using shoe trees when storing your sneakers can help maintain their shape and reduce excessive creasing. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help keep it supple.

How often should I clean my Italia 70s?

Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For general maintenance, wipe them down after a few wears. For deeper cleaning or noticeable dirt, clean them as needed to preserve the leather and overall appearance.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for footwear. Buff lightly with a clean cloth.

White 3-Stripes or heel detail are dirty and discolored.

Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Gently scrub the white areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner for white components can be used.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause for squeaking in new shoes can be friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole; ensure it's dry and clean.
