FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The SL 72 OG typically fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives used in the sole. Always clean by hand.

Is the metallic silver finish prone to fading?

With proper care and by avoiding abrasive surfaces, the finish will remain vibrant. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the metallic sections.

Are these shoes suitable for gym workouts?

These are categorized as lifestyle trainers. While suitable for light activity, they do not provide the stability or impact protection required for intense weightlifting or running.

How do I store the shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the color from dulling.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface showing light scuffs

Use a specialized leather conditioner or a clean, soft cloth to gently buff the area.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets and consider a double knot if the provided laces are slippery.

Discomfort during long walks

The low-profile design lacks specialized cushioning; consider inserting aftermarket ergonomic insoles for added arch support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage-inspired aesthetic
  • Lightweight construction for daily wear
  • High-quality leather material
  • Secure adjustable fit

Cons

  • Leather requires more maintenance than synthetic options
  • Low-profile design offers less arch support than performance shoes
  • Metallic finish may show scuffs more prominently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your SL 72 OG trainers involves proper initial sizing and consistent upkeep. Because they feature a leather upper, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners. To clean, wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Since these are low-profile trainers, they pair best with casual trousers, jeans, or athletic-leisure wear. Always ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for a stable fit before initial wear.
