FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 was originally a running shoe in 1972, this version is intended for lifestyle and casual use.
Does the leather stretch over time?
As with most leather shoes, they will slightly conform to your foot shape after a few wears, providing a more custom fit.
Are they true to size?
The adidas SL 72 OG typically fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
How do I clean the white accents?
Use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth to gently clean the white details, taking care to keep the moisture away from the metallic leather surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific arch support, you can remove the standard insoles and insert your own orthotics.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather material.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence in leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets for a more secure tension.
Surface scuffs on the silver finish
Use a soft, dry cloth to buff the area. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the metallic coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic silver finish from fading or cracking.
- Lacing: Tighten the laces before wearing to ensure the shoe is secure; adjust as needed to accommodate socks of varying thickness.
- Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the exterior from the elements.
