FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas SL 72 RS Shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. They offer cushioning for everyday comfort but do not provide the specialized support or features needed for serious running.
How should I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft, dry cloth for general dusting. For leather, a damp cloth can be used. Suede areas should be cleaned with a suede brush or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What is the fit like?
These shoes have a regular fit. If you have wider feet, you might find them snug, and considering a size up could be beneficial for increased comfort.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The shoes have a rubber outsole for traction, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What do the 'RS' in SL 72 RS stand for?
While not explicitly stated in the product description, 'RS' often denotes a 'Restyled' or 'Remastered' version of a classic silhouette, indicating modern updates to the original design.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The provided information is for the white colorway. Availability of other colors may vary depending on the retailer and current product offerings.
What is the main difference between the SL 72 and SL 72 RS?
The SL 72 RS is a reimagining of the original SL 72, featuring a thicker midsole and a reshaped upper for enhanced modern comfort and a style that fits current terrace trends, while retaining classic branding.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-tying them with more space. If the tightness persists, consider if this size is suitable for your foot width or if a size up is needed.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a powder or a thin sock liner to reduce friction. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Difficulty cleaning suede areas
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner designed for leather footwear may be necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Outsole feels slippery
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists on certain surfaces, the shoe may be worn or unsuitable for those conditions. Break-in periods can sometimes improve grip.
