FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the SL 72 OG generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are lifestyle shoes inspired by vintage designs and do not contain the cushioning or stability tech required for performance running.

How should I clean the black suede or fabric elements?

Use a dry brush or a suede eraser to remove surface dirt, as moisture can sometimes cause staining on specific materials.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, most iterations of the SL 72 OG feature a removable insole, allowing for the potential use of custom orthotics.

Are these suitable for all-day walking?

They are designed for comfortable casual walking throughout the day, though personal preference on support level may vary.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 OG shoes maintain their look, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Spot clean the upper with a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. Avoid submerging the shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the materials. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading. These shoes are highly compatible with casual trousers, chinos, and athletic-inspired leisurewear, serving as a neutral foundation for almost any outfit.
