Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers. Using shoe trees when not in use helps minimize deep creases.
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets for a more secure lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Originals SL 72 OG trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel stiff initially; wear them for short periods during the first week to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the surface. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat, as these can cause the leather to dry out and crack. Use a shoe tree or keep them stuffed with paper to help maintain the original shape.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for standard adult feet. If you wear orthotics, ensure you have enough volume to accommodate them as the SL 72 has a slim profile.
