FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas SL 72 OG generally fits true to size for most adult foot shapes.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the modern foam technology required for long-distance running.
How do I best clean the silver leather?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away dust; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the metallic finish.
Are they water-resistant?
They are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
What is the primary material used?
They feature a combination of natural leather and durable textile panels.
Do these provide good arch support?
The SL 72 OG is a flat, low-profile shoe, so it offers minimal arch support. You may consider adding an aftermarket insole if you need more support.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double knot is used if the laces feel slick, or swap for cotton-based laces for better friction.
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with leather footwear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Stains on textile panels
Gently spot clean with a soft brush and a very small amount of mild soap diluted in water, then air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, begin by ensuring you have the correct fit, as the SL 72 OG follows a standard size guide. For care, keep the leather components clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth; for stubborn dirt, use a mild leather-safe cleaner. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water, as this may compromise the leather. To maintain the metallic finish, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or fading of the silver tones. Using a protective spray suitable for leather can help repel moisture and dirt before you wear them outdoors.
