FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas SL 72 fits standard adult sizing; however, since they are made of suede, they may stretch slightly after repeated wear.
Can I wear these for sports?
The SL 72 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. While comfortable, they are not intended for high-intensity training or competitive sports.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide basic water resistance.
How do I keep the blue color vibrant?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can cause the blue dye to fade over time.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally integrated into the design. We recommend using them as provided for the best structural support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the nap of the material in one direction.
White laces becoming dull or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in a bowl of warm water with a mild detergent, then air dry completely.
Minor scuffs on the midsole
Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap to wipe the EVA foam surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the suede upper, keep them away from harsh weather conditions and direct mud. If the shoes become damp, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If you encounter deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaning solution applied with a soft cloth or brush is recommended. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently damage the texture of the leather and suede components.
