FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adidas SL 72 RS Shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and offer comfort for daily activities. They are not engineered for high-impact sports like running, which typically require specialized athletic footwear.

What material are the shoes made of?

These shoes feature a leather upper with suede overlays. They also have a leather sockliner, an EVA midsole, and a rubber outsole.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to consult the Adidas sizing chart and measure your foot to find the best UK size. Users sometimes find it helpful to compare with previous Adidas shoe sizing they own.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the leather and suede upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.

What is the difference between the SL 72 and SL 72 RS models?

The 'RS' designation typically indicates a 'Remastered' or updated version. The SL 72 RS features a thicker midsole and a reshaped upper compared to the original SL 72, offering enhanced modern comfort while retaining the classic aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and wear them with medium-thickness socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes need a brief breaking-in period.

Suede material getting dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry.

Tread feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip may vary on extremely wet or smooth surfaces; exercise caution.
