FAQs

Are the adidas SL 72 OG trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, the SL 72 OG are primarily lifestyle trainers. They are not designed for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the adidas official sizing guide available on their website. Consider your usual shoe size and check reviews for fit feedback, as some users find they run slightly large or small.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially those with leather components. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the primary material used in the SL 72 OG?

The SL 72 OG typically features a combination of materials, often including textile uppers, synthetic overlays, and a rubber outsole. Some versions may incorporate leather elements.

Is this trainer good for wide feet?

The SL 72 OG generally has a standard width. If you have particularly wide feet, it is advisable to try them on before purchasing or look for user reviews that specifically mention width accommodation.

What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?

'OG' stands for 'Original'. In this context, it indicates that the SL 72 OG is a re-release or retro version inspired by the original design of the SL 72.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the adidas sizing chart and consider trying a half size up or down. Different models can have slight variations in fit. It is recommended to try them on in person if possible.

Soles feel stiff initially

This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The midsole will soften with use.

Discoloration on leather parts

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Ensure the shoes are dry before applying conditioner. Protect from prolonged direct sunlight.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length and material for optimal fit and appearance.

Care:
