FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while the SL72 OG is rooted in sport history, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear, not for high-intensity running.

How should I clean the exterior?

Use a soft damp cloth with mild soap for general cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can the insoles be replaced?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.

Is this a unisex model?

While listed under specific variants, the SL72 silhouette is widely considered a unisex style that fits both men and women effectively.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the trainer and minimize deep set creases.

Staining on the nylon fabric

Use a specialized fabric cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt, ensuring you test the product on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic retro style that works well with jeans, chinos, or shorts
  • Lightweight build prevents foot fatigue during daily wear
  • Versatile color palette that complements neutral and earth-tone wardrobes
  • Durable construction based on proven archival design

Cons

  • Nylon material may be more susceptible to stains than full-grain leather
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance or specialized gym training
  • Limited water resistance due to the breathable upper materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come fully assembled, the 'setup' is limited to ensuring the correct fit. When sizing, consider your typical UK trainer sizing, as these generally run true to fit. To ensure longevity, keep the trainers away from excessive mud or harsh outdoor elements. To clean the nylon upper, use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution, gently blotting rather than scrubbing to avoid damaging the fabric fibers. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the adhesive to lose strength over time.
