FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The SL 72 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, washing leather shoes in a machine can damage the material and the adhesive; always clean by hand.
Is the leather real?
Yes, these models are constructed with leather uppers for durability and a classic look.
What is the midsole material?
The midsole is made of EVA, which is known for being lightweight and providing effective cushioning.
Do these come in different widths?
The shoes are produced in standard widths. If you require a wider fit, consider checking the size guide or trying a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for trainers and apply a small amount with a soft cloth.
Outsole loses traction
Clean the bottom rubber sole with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt or debris buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Maintenance: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
- Fit: Ensure you select the correct size, as leather materials do not stretch significantly over time.
