FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Adidas SL 72 RS Trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. They offer comfort and style for everyday use.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore its texture. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first and following the product's instructions.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The trainers feature a leather base with suede overlays for a blend of durability and aesthetic appeal.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This specific product information pertains to the White colorway. Please check other listings or the Adidas website for available color options in the SL 72 RS series.

What does 'RS' in SL 72 RS stand for?

The 'RS' typically denotes a modernized or revised version of the original model, often implying updated features for comfort and fit, as seen with the thicker midsole and reshaped upper in this iteration.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Adidas or the retailer. The product details list UK sizing; ensure you convert correctly if you use US or EU sizing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully.

Traction feels reduced

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. If the tread is significantly worn down, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape during drying.
