FAQs

Are the adidas SL 72 true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult trainers, though the profile is quite slim.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.

Are these suitable for long-distance running?

While based on a running shoe, they are intended for lifestyle use and casual walking rather than modern marathon or long-distance running.

How do I remove scuffs from the leather?

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a clean, soft cloth or a leather eraser.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are generally fixed, but some users may be able to replace them with custom orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its luster

Use a high-quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material and restore its natural finish.

Creasing at the toe box

This is common with leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.

Inner lining showing signs of wear

Ensure you are using a shoe horn when putting the shoes on to avoid crushing the heel counter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally lightweight design for all-day comfort
  • Responsive cushioning provided by the EVA midsole
  • Timeless, classic retro-running aesthetic
  • High-quality leather materials ensure long-lasting durability

Cons

  • Leather surfaces require regular cleaning to prevent staining
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated high-performance gym shoes
  • Color palette is specifically geared toward neutral, earth-toned styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 trainers last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt from the leather portions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
  2. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colors from fading.
  3. Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water repellent spray can help protect against minor spills and light rain.
  4. Fit Check: Ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the slim retro profile fits snugly against the foot.
