FAQs

What is the primary material of the SL 72 RS Trainers?

The trainers feature a leather upper with suede overlays.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

The SL 72 RS Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities or performance running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

For suede, it is best to use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner is recommended, following product instructions.

What does 'RS' stand for in SL 72 RS?

The 'RS' likely denotes a specific iteration or update of the original SL 72 model, often indicating enhanced features or a revised design for modern wear.

Does the shoe have good arch support?

The SL 72 RS features an EVA midsole for cushioning. While this provides comfort, specific arch support features are not detailed; they are generally designed for a regular fit.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.

What is the fit like?

The trainers have a regular fit. It is recommended to check size guides and potentially try them on if possible, especially if you have wide feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks or stretching aids if minor tightness persists.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

For light scuffs on leather, a slightly damp cloth may be sufficient. For deeper marks, consider a leather conditioner or polish designed for white leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution when walking on slick or wet ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

While designed as trainers, their aesthetic makes them compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are suitable for adult use.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from both the leather and suede. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth on the leather parts. For suede, specialized suede cleaners are recommended. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain their shape and protect the materials.
