FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed for the track in 1972, current versions are intended for casual lifestyle wear and are not recommended for modern distance running.
How should I clean my SL 72 OG trainers?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to spot clean the exterior. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The SL 72 OG typically fits true to size, but because of the slim, low-profile design, those with wider feet may prefer to size up.
Can the insoles be removed?
Most versions of the SL 72 OG feature standard glued insoles. Attempting to remove them may damage the internal construction of the shoe.
What materials are used in the construction?
The trainers feature a blend of durable synthetics and fabrics typical of the heritage 1970s build, prioritizing a lightweight feel.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt accumulation on the outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the grip pattern, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Fit feels too tight
Ensure laces are fully loosened before putting on the shoe to allow the tongue and eyelets to accommodate your foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers maintain their look, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Spot clean the fabric and synthetic portions with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. For sizing, these are standard adult female trainers; if you are between sizes or prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider that the slim profile fits true to size but may feel snug. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the materials.
