FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The SL 72 PT is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical stability or shock absorption required for long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
The model follows standard UK adult sizing. We recommend checking your current adidas footwear size for the best fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are not designed to be waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles in this model are generally fixed to the shoe, so we do not recommend attempting to remove them to avoid damaging the interior lining.
How do I keep the white detailing clean?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with a mild detergent specifically intended for footwear to gently clean white sections.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with lifestyle trainers; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure.
Outer sole losing traction
Regularly wipe the soles with a damp cloth to remove debris and grit that can reduce grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 PT trainers maintain their look, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the rubber components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue and white colorway from fading over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a specific fit in other adidas lifestyle models, it is recommended to stick to your usual size.
