FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 was originally a running shoe, this version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use. It lacks the modern technical support found in dedicated performance running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
The SL 72 OG generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size for extra comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive components of the shoe. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather.
Is the outsole slip-resistant?
The rubber outsole features a textured tread that provides good grip, but it is not rated as industrial-grade slip-resistant footwear.
Does the leather need waterproofing?
It is highly recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect the shoes from stains and water damage.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out superficial surface scuffs.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double-knot or check if the laces have become slick from dust; replace with new laces if the original grip is lost.
Uncomfortable fit in the heel
Ensure the padded collar is not folded over and try adjusting the lace tension specifically at the top eyelet to secure the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SL 72 OG trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can strip the leather's natural oils.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them directly on radiators or heaters, as high heat can crack the leather.
- Storage: Use shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creasing when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to ensure your UK size allows for adequate room in the toe box.
