FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The SL 72 RS Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good traction, they are not engineered with the specific features required for high-impact sports or running.

How do I determine the right size?

It is recommended to consult the Adidas sizing chart. Many users find it helpful to measure their foot length and compare it to the provided chart. Consider your preferred fit (snug or relaxed) when choosing your size.

Can these trainers be washed in a machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and midsole construction of the shoes.

What is the main difference between the SL 72 and SL 72 RS?

The 'RS' in SL 72 RS typically indicates a 'Reimagined' or 'Remastered' version. In this case, it features a thicker midsole and a reshaped upper compared to the original 1972 SL 72, updating it with modern comfort and fitting into current terrace trends.

How should I care for the suede overlays?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with suede overlays adding to the design and texture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

This can be common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new soles. Ensure the laces are tied correctly. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture between the sole and midsole; allow them to dry thoroughly.

White color getting dirty quickly

Regularly brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather and suede cleaner and a damp cloth. Consider applying a protective spray for white leather/suede to help repel stains.
