FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Adidas SL 72 RS Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort and some support, they are not engineered for performance running and may lack the specific features required for athletic training.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart available online or in-store. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart, noting that the SL 72 RS has a regular fit.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The materials, particularly leather and suede, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle and harsh detergents. Hand clean using a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners.

What is the main difference between the original SL 72 and the SL 72 RS?

The SL 72 RS reimagines the original with a thicker midsole for enhanced cushioning and a reshaped upper for a more modern fit, aligning with current terrace trends, while maintaining the classic aesthetic.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The SL 72 RS model is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for currently available options.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction in everyday use. Regular wear and tear will occur, but it is constructed to withstand typical casual walking and daily activities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for mild stretching over time. If the tightness is significant, consider if a different size is needed.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe or try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Dirt on suede areas

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive folding. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not worn.
