FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the SL 72 RS generally runs true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider sizing up by a half size.

Can these be worn for running?

These are lifestyle trainers inspired by retro sport designs. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized cushioning required for running.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or laundry machines as these can damage the leather finish.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, these models feature high-quality leather construction.

Are these suitable for all weather?

Leather is breathable but not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

This is natural for leather shoes. Use a cedar shoe tree when not wearing to help the material retain its shape.

Scuffs on the cream accents

Use a specialized rubber eraser for footwear or a soft cloth with a mild leather conditioner to buff out superficial scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the leather material offers a consistent, structured sizing. To maintain the appearance of your adidas SL 72 RS:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a professional leather cleaner designed for sneakers.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
  3. Weather Protection: Use a water-repellent spray formulated for leather to protect against unexpected rain, though avoid full submersion or heavy saturation of the shoes.
