Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals SL 72 RS is designed for adult men who value a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern technical utility, serving as an ideal everyday trainer for urban environments. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight comfort and the proprietary Aditex weatherproof membrane, which keeps feet protected in varying conditions. While the shoe provides excellent support and a premium look, users should note that the leather construction requires consistent care to maintain its appearance and water-resistant properties.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy exercise?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle activities. They are not recommended for high-intensity running or specialized sports.

Is the Aditex membrane truly waterproof?

The Aditex membrane is designed to be weatherproof, providing protection against light rain and moisture, though it is not intended to be submerged in water.

How do I clean the white or light-coloured elements?

Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, scrubbing gently. Avoid soaking the shoes, as this can damage the leather.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to substitute them with custom orthotics if required.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions, though leather footwear can feel slightly snug at first before molding to your foot.

What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?

Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a radiator or direct heat source, as this will dry out the leather and cause it to crack.

Troubleshooting

Leather appearing dry or scuffed

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and buff out minor scuffs.

Trainer feels tight across the arch

Loosen the lacing pattern at the midfoot to reduce pressure; allow for a break-in period as the leather softens.

Dirt stuck in the serrated outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently remove debris from the serrations to ensure maximum grip.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight build ideal for long-distance city walking

Cons

  • Leather material requires specific cleaning protocols
  • Limited to casual use rather than high-intensity athletic performance
  • May require a short break-in period for the leather to soften

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers maintain their fit and finish, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: The SL 72 RS features a traditional lace-up system; ensure you adjust the laces to accommodate your foot volume before the first use.
  2. Break-in: As a leather product, the upper may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might damage the Aditex membrane.
  4. Weatherproofing: While the trainers feature an integrated weatherproof membrane, applying a leather-safe water repellent periodically can help maintain the surface finish and prevent water staining.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
