FAQs
Are the SL 72 RS Trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities. While they provide good cushioning, they are not specialized for intense athletic performance like running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Adidas, which typically includes measurements in UK, US, and European sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most accurate way to ensure a proper fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather and suede materials can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to water. While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It's advisable to protect them with appropriate waterproofing sprays and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the main difference between the SL 72 and SL 72 RS?
The 'RS' designation typically indicates a 're-imagined' or 'revised' version. The SL 72 RS features a thicker midsole and a reshaped upper compared to the original SL 72, enhancing modern comfort while retaining the retro aesthetic.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Do the SL 72 RS Trainers come in other colours?
The provided information specifies a white colour family for this particular model. Availability of other colours may vary by retailer and season.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces to find a secure yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary between individuals.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to break them in. If the noise continues, check for any foreign objects in the sole or between layers.
Scuff marks on leather or suede
For leather, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For suede, use a suede eraser or brush to gently lift marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The SL 72 RS Trainers are designed for adult unisex wear and are generally compatible with most casual attire. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on leather, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Suede areas should be treated with a suede brush or eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Maintenance: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, and a suede protector for the suede overlays.
