FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While inspired by racing shoes, the SL 72 RS are designed more for casual wear and comfort. For dedicated marathon running, consider shoes engineered specifically for that purpose.
How should I clean the suede overlays?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry.
What is the main difference between these and original SL 72 shoes?
The SL 72 RS features a thicker midsole and a reshaped upper for enhanced modern comfort, while maintaining the iconic retro aesthetic of the original 1970s model.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, especially the leather and suede, and affect the shoe's structure.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Does the 'RS' in SL 72 RS stand for anything specific?
The 'RS' typically denotes a modern update or interpretation of the original model, often implying enhanced features or a contemporary design twist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them for a short period. If still uncomfortable, consider if they are the correct size or if insoles are needed.
Suede appears matted or discolored
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The crinkled design provides grip, but heavy dirt can reduce its effectiveness. For new shoes, some initial 'break-in' may be needed.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material.
