FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 OG Trainers are designed for casual wear and offer moderate cushioning. They are not recommended for intense running or athletic training that requires specialized support and impact absorption.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The trainers feature a leather upper.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides some traction, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather upper and maintain comfort.
What does 'OG' stand for in SL 72 OG?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that these are a reissue or faithful reproduction of the original SL 72 model, preserving its classic design and features.
How does the EVA midsole contribute to comfort?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole is a lightweight foam material that provides cushioning by absorbing shock from walking and standing, making the trainers comfortable for everyday wear.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range offered, including UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoes and then tied to a comfortable tension. If discomfort persists after a short break-in period, consider if the size is correct or if thicker socks are being used.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for any embedded debris like mud or stones that may be reducing grip. Clean the tread pattern with a brush or damp cloth. Ensure the surfaces are not excessively wet or oily.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for leather footwear using a soft cloth. For scuffs, a leather eraser or appropriate polish may help. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
