FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 PT is designed as a lifestyle and heritage fashion trainer, not for athletic performance or long-distance running.
How should I clean the white midsole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soapy water to wipe the midsole clean. Avoid getting the soap on the suede upper.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They typically fit true to size, but because of the slim profile, some users with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material, the adhesive, and the overall structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality suede, which provides a soft, premium feel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized rubber eraser for suede to gently lift stains without damaging the texture.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is free of debris or grit; if new, wear the shoes on rough concrete for a short period to break in the tread.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for suede and flexible materials. Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede uppers, immediate care is essential to extend their lifespan. Before your first wear, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray to create a barrier against dirt and light moisture.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede surface. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the black colouration to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral black and white colour palette, making them highly versatile for pairing with jeans, chinos, or casual joggers.
