FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find that the SL72 OG fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you may prefer to go up half a size due to the slim silhouette.

Can I run in the SL72 OG?

While they were originally designed as running shoes in 1972, today's model is intended for lifestyle and casual use. They lack the technical support needed for modern long-distance running.

Are they water-resistant?

No. The combination of nylon and suede is porous. You should avoid wearing them in wet weather.

What is the best way to clean the white accents?

A gentle sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth works best. Wipe gently and allow to air dry away from heat sources.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the SL72 OG is designed as a unisex model, though sizing is typically provided in standard adult UK increments.

Troubleshooting

Suede overlays looking dusty or dull

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently buff the nap of the suede back to life.

Creasing on the toe box

This is a natural occurrence in nylon-upper shoes. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material maintain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Breathable nylon material prevents overheating
  • Iconic vintage style pairs well with casual outfits
  • EVA midsole offers improved cushioning compared to original 70s models

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports or gym use
  • Low-profile cut provides minimal ankle support
  • Suede overlays require careful cleaning to prevent staining

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since these are casual trainers, there is no technical setup required—simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot and adjust for a secure fit. Regarding compatibility, the unisex design makes them versatile for various wardrobes.

To maintain your SL72 OG trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede sections. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the nylon areas.
  2. Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can damage the leather accents and adhesive bonds.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray formulated for suede to protect against light stains and moisture.
