Product Information
Full details
These adidas Originals SL 72 RS Cordura trainers are designed for the adult male seeking a blend of retro style and modern durability. The key benefit is the combination of a classic silhouette with robust Cordura fabric and premium leather overlays, offering enhanced resilience. A potential caveat is that the scooped midsole, while providing cushioning, might offer a different feel than traditional flat-soled trainers. Key features include a tough Cordura upper, cow leather suede overlays, a signature T-toe shape, a cushioned scooped midsole, and a grippy Cold Cement outsole.

FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the Cordura upper offers good resistance to the elements, these trainers are not fully waterproof. The leather and suede components are not inherently waterproof and may be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture.
What is Cordura fabric?
Cordura is a highly durable and abrasion-resistant fabric known for its strength and resilience, often used in military and outdoor gear. It provides enhanced toughness for the trainer's upper.
How do I determine my UK size?
Please refer to the adidas sizing chart available on the brand's official website or the retailer's product page for accurate conversion from international sizes to UK sizing.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, especially the leather suede, and affect the shoe's structure and cushioning.
What is the main difference between SL 72 RS and SL 72 RS Cordura?
The primary difference is the upper material. The SL 72 RS Cordura features a Cordura fabric base for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance, in addition to other materials, whereas the standard SL 72 RS might use different primary upper materials.
How much cushioning do these offer?
These trainers feature an enhanced midsole with increased loft compared to the original SL 72, providing more cushioning for daily wear. However, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and not for high-impact athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole may also help.
Laces not staying tied
Ensure the laces are not too old or worn. Consider using a double knot for added security, or replacing the laces with a fresh pair that might have better grip.
Discoloration on suede areas
This may be due to water or dirt. Use a suede eraser for light marks and a dedicated suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to dry naturally.
