FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The SL 72 OG is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is best used for walking and daily activities rather than long-distance or high-intensity running.

How should I clean the black upper?

Use a damp, lint-free cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, ensuring you wipe away any soap residue with a clean, wet cloth afterward.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adidas sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer to try them on for the most comfortable experience.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the materials are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain and deep puddles to maintain the integrity of the trainer.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too snug after initial wear

The upper material may need a short 'break-in' period; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the shape to adapt to your foot.

Visible surface dust or light scuffs

Use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated sneaker cleaning wipe to gently remove debris without damaging the fabric or trim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure you select your standard adidas size, as the classic cut remains consistent with the brand's legacy sizing.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe down the outer surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners which can degrade the materials.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading.
  4. Weather Protection: Use a light water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions to protect the upper finish.
