FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. However, it is recommended to reference a conversion chart if you are transitioning between different international sizing standards.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these trainers suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is absorbent and can be damaged by water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, or ensure they are treated with a heavy-duty water-repellent spray.
What is the primary material used?
This specific Sl/61 model is crafted with a premium suede upper.
Where is the branding located?
The signature is embossed on the side, the back heel counter, and present as a patch on the tongue.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Like most leather and suede footwear, they may feel slightly snug at first but will mold comfortably to your feet after a few wears.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently stroke the fibers in one direction.
Small water spots
Allow the shoe to dry completely and then brush the area to restore the nap.
Stiffening of the suede
Use a suede eraser or brush to restore softness to the material fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sl/61 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before wearing them for the first time to repel water and light dirt.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear.
- In the event of small marks, use a professional suede eraser to lift stains.
- Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen.
