FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while they are based on a track heritage, they are designed for casual lifestyle wear and lack the necessary support for dedicated running.

Do the SL 72 Rs trainers run true to size?

They generally follow standard sizing, but because they have a slim, vintage profile, some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet.

How can I clean the suede elements?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt, and avoid using excess water on suede surfaces.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with orthotics or aftermarket comfort insoles if desired.

What is the best way to prevent odors?

Allow your trainers to air out for 24 hours between wears and use a deodorizing spray if needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system significantly to allow for more volume and re-tie once the foot is inside.

Signs of wear appearing on the upper materials

Regularly brush off debris and use a dedicated leather or synthetic cleaner suitable for the specific material of your variant.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal comfort, ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the slim fit of the SL series is designed to hug the foot. To keep your trainers looking new, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors over time.

Care Instructions

  1. Surface Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust from the exterior.
  2. Stain Removal: For deeper stains, use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution; do not submerge the shoes in water.
  3. Avoid Machine Washing: Washing machines can compromise the structural integrity and adhesives of the trainers.
  4. Air Dry: Always air dry at room temperature; avoid using heaters or direct heat sources, as these can warp the materials.
