FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the SL 72 offers comfort and support, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, not intense running.

How do I clean the green snake print texture?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the textured area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the print or the leather.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Can the insoles be removed for custom orthotics?

The product description does not specify removable insoles. It is generally recommended to check the fit with your orthotics before purchase or consult with a footwear professional.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of rubber, providing grip and traction.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made of leather and are not advertised as waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using thicker socks for a brief period while breaking them in.

White midsole shows scuff marks.

Gently clean the midsole with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be effective. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Leather creasing excessively.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize severe creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The adidas SL 72 Trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult female foot sizes (UK 9). They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather. For tougher marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Lining Care: Ensure the inside of the shoe stays dry. If it becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
