FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?

What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of premium leather, providing a durable and stylish finish.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather shoes, following the product's instructions.
What is the main benefit of the midsole?
The lightweight foam midsole offers enhanced cushioning and comfort, making the trainers suitable for all-day wear.
Does this model come in other colors?
The Adidas SL 72 RS series is available in various colorways, though this specific guide focuses on the Blue, Cream White, Sand Strata option.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The trainers have a regular fit. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a size guide, as leather can take time to break in.
What does 'RS' in SL 72 RS stand for?
While not explicitly stated in the product description, 'RS' often denotes updates or variations on a classic model, potentially referring to 'Retro Series' or enhanced features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight.
Leather shows minor scuffs or marks
Use a leather cleaner or a specialized product designed for leather shoe maintenance to gently remove marks. Follow product instructions carefully.
Outsole grip feels reduced
Clean the lug pattern on the rubber outsole with a stiff brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Color transfer from leather to socks
This can occasionally happen with new leather products, especially in darker colors. It should reduce with wear and is unlikely with the Dusky Petrol/Cream White combination. Ensure socks are not excessively wet.
