FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The SL 72 RS Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning and traction for walking, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and technology required for intense athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts?
For suede, it's best to use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main difference between the SL 72 RS and the original SL 72?
The SL 72 RS features a thicker midsole and a reshaped upper for enhanced modern comfort and fit, while retaining the classic retro aesthetic of the original 1972 model.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.
What is the fit like?
These trainers have a regular fit. However, due to the nature of leather and suede, they may feel snug initially. Many users find they break in comfortably over time. If you have wider feet, you might consider trying a half-size up.
Do these shoes have good grip?
Yes, they feature a gripped rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction for everyday walking on various urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if a larger size might be more suitable for your foot width.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a similar length and material. Standard shoe laces are widely available.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn dirt, a dedicated suede cleaner may be necessary.
Leather shows signs of creasing or dryness
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the affected areas and buff gently with a soft cloth.
