FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the SL 72 was originally a running shoe, the modern PT iteration is primarily designed for casual, everyday wear due to its blend of retro styling and comfort features. For dedicated running, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Adidas SL 72 PT generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
The nylon upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the suede overlays are more susceptible to water damage. We recommend avoiding heavy rain and considering a water-repellent spray specifically for suede to protect your sneakers.
Do they provide good arch support?
The SL 72 PT features an EVA midsole for cushioning, offering standard comfort and support typical of retro-inspired sneakers. If you require specialized arch support, you might consider using custom insoles.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from a combination of lightweight and breathable nylon, reinforced with tonal suede overlays in key areas for durability and style.
Are these sneakers suitable for both men and women?
Yes, while specific sizes might be categorized for gender, the Adidas SL 72 PT features a versatile, unisex design that can be comfortably worn by individuals of any gender.
How should I store these sneakers when not in use?
To maintain their shape and condition, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help preserve the silhouette over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner can be applied, followed by brushing.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole to reduce friction.
Nylon upper appears stained
For light stains, gently wipe the nylon with a soft cloth dampened with a mix of mild soap and water. For more stubborn stains, a sneaker cleaning solution formulated for synthetic materials may be used, following product instructions carefully.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the serrated rubber outsole is clean and free from embedded dirt or debris, which can reduce traction. While the outsole offers reliable grip, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces.
