FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas SL 72 OG shoes are designed for casual wear and style, not for performance running or high-impact athletic activities. For sports, we recommend specialized athletic footwear.
How do I clean the nylon material on my shoes?
For the nylon upper, gently clean with a soft cloth or brush dipped in a solution of mild soap and water. Wipe off any residue with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Can I machine wash my SL 72 OG shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Always clean them by hand as described in the care instructions.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The SL 72 OG offers standard cushioning from its EVA midsole, suitable for casual wear. It does not feature specialized arch support typically found in athletic or orthotic footwear.
How can I protect the suede parts from stains?
To protect suede, consider using a suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time. Reapply periodically as directed by the product. Always clean suede with appropriate suede-specific products and tools.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The nylon and suede materials are not inherently water-resistant. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and material damage. A water-repellent spray designed for these materials can offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays appear dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub away dry dirt and lift the nap. For liquid stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Nylon upper has dirt or light stains
Mix a small amount of mild soap with lukewarm water. Use a soft cloth or brush to gently clean the affected area. Wipe off excess soap with a clean, damp cloth and let air dry.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Wearing appropriate socks can also impact comfort. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different insole.
Outsole traction seems reduced
Inspect the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread patterns with a brush and water to remove dirt. If the outsole is significantly worn, the shoe's grip may be permanently reduced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Your adidas SL 72 OG shoes arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace to your desired looseness, insert your foot, and lace them up comfortably. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight to allow for proper blood circulation and comfort throughout the day. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the fit that suits you best.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your SL 72 OG shoes:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe down the nylon upper and rubber outsole.
- Nylon Upper: For more stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Apply the solution with a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub the stained area, and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Air dry away from direct heat.
- Suede Overlays: Suede requires special attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Apply according to product instructions. Avoid excessive moisture, as water can stain suede.
- Outsoles: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
