FAQs

Are the Adidas SL 72 RS suitable for running?

While inspired by a running shoe, the SL 72 RS is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual comfort. It is not recommended for high-intensity athletic training or serious running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser for dry dirt and minor marks. For tougher stains, avoid water and consider professional cleaning. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is a combination of breathable mesh textile and supple suede overlays.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions, especially due to the suede material, which can be damaged by excessive moisture.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

The product description indicates a 'Regular fit'. It's generally advisable to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?

The wedge EVA midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

How do these trainers compare to the original SL 72?

The SL 72 RS pays homage to the original's design but features updated materials and colour schemes. It maintains the lightweight, retro aesthetic while offering comfort suitable for modern lifestyle use.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a new pair of appropriate length and material. Consider a waxed lace for increased durability.

Suede appears dull or stained

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or insert an anti-slip insole to see if the sound subsides.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the shoes are correctly laced and fitted. Break them in gradually with short wear periods. Consider wearing thicker socks or using blister prevention products.
