FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 RS is inspired by running heritage and is lightweight, it's primarily designed for casual wear. For intense or performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of breathable mesh textile and supple suede overlays, offering both comfort and structure.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush for regular maintenance and a suede eraser for light marks. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner or professional cleaning.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh and suede construction is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector can offer some water resistance.
What is the purpose of the EVA midsole?
The wedge EVA midsole provides cushioning to help absorb impact and offer comfort during walking and daily activities.
Where do these trainers fit in terms of style?
They are designed with a retro aesthetic, making them versatile for casual outfits like jeans and shorts, as well as smart-casual options like chinos.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly tied. Consider wearing thinner socks. If the tightness persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner. Apply a suede protector spray regularly to prevent stains.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For extremely smooth surfaces, the shoe's grip may be reduced compared to specialized athletic shoes.
Mesh showing signs of wear
Avoid abrasive contact and harsh cleaning methods. Gently clean with a damp cloth. If significant tearing occurs, professional repair might be considered, though it is generally not feasible for mesh.
