Adidas SL 72 PT Sneaker - Blue - UK 4

The Adidas SL 72 PT is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running or intense athletic training. Its construction prioritizes style and light activity.

Adidas sneakers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are unsure, consult an Adidas size chart. The specific variant is UK 4, but other sizes are available.

While the nylon offers some resistance, the suede overlays are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to preserve the shoe's appearance and materials. Consider a protective spray.

The shoe features a combination of a nylon upper, suede overlays, metal eyelets, and a durable rubber outsole. These materials contribute to its classic look and comfortable wear.

Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For general maintenance, a quick wipe-down after a few wears and a deeper clean when noticeable dirt accumulates will help keep them looking fresh.

This feature refers to a specific design element in the heel, made from a distinct cellular rubber material. It's a nod to the original SL 72 design, contributing to the shoe's vintage aesthetic and providing subtle underfoot comfort.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub the affected areas. For stubborn dirt, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions. Avoid excessive moisture.

Prepare a solution of mild soap (like dish soap) and cool water. Dip a soft cloth or brush into the solution and gently scrub the dirty areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and ensuring everything is completely dry before reinserting. If it persists, a thin layer of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help. Info needed: If the squeak is from the outsole, it might indicate wear or a manufacturing detail.

Ensure you are using a proper double knot. You might also try a 'surgeon's knot' for extra security, or consider replacing the laces with a different material if they are particularly slippery.
