FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, while the SL 72 has running heritage, it is now designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and casual daily use.
How do I clean the leather parts?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a slightly damp cloth to wipe the leather clean. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The SL 72 generally fits true to size for standard adult feet. If you wear thick socks, you may want to consider your standard sizing based on personal preference.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with orthotic inserts if you require additional arch support.
Are these waterproof?
No, they are made with breathable materials and leather, meaning they are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or water exposure.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after repeated use
Use a dedicated leather conditioner or a gentle, damp cloth to restore the shine and remove surface dust.
Laces feel too loose during walking
Adjust the tension through the eyelets and consider using a secure runner's knot to keep the fit snug throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear with standard lace-up adjustments to achieve your preferred tension.
Compatibility: The brown and white color scheme is highly versatile, pairing well with denim, leggings, or casual cotton trousers.
Care: To maintain the leather elements, wipe them down gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the EVA midsole. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
