FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals SL72 OG are designed for everyday casual wear and style, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports. They provide comfort and style for urban environments.
How do I determine the correct size?
This specific product is a UK size 11. adidas shoes typically run true to size, but we recommend checking an adidas sizing chart if you are unsure or comparing with other adidas footwear you own.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions for cleaning the leather and sole manually.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We advise avoiding heavy rain and using a protective leather spray for added water resistance if desired.
What kind of surfaces are these shoes best for?
Thanks to their durable gum sole and textured grip tread, these sneakers perform best on urban surfaces such as pavement, sidewalks, and indoor flooring. They are not designed for rough or muddy terrain.
How do I prevent the leather from cracking?
To prevent cracking, regularly clean the leather and apply a quality leather conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat, and store them properly in a cool, dry place.
What is the material of the sole?
The shoe features a durable gum sole with a textured grip tread for excellent traction and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or debris in the sole. Try removing and reinserting the insole. Clean the outsole thoroughly to ensure no small objects are lodged in the tread.
Stains or scuffs on the leather upper.
For light stains, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
Reduced grip or slippery feel.
Inspect the textured grip tread for accumulated dirt, mud, or debris. Clean the gum sole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to restore its original traction. If the tread is heavily worn, consider replacement.
Unpleasant odor from shoes.
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear, especially if feet sweat.

Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your SL72 OG sneakers, especially given their leather construction and gum sole.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Sole Care: Clean the gum sole and textured tread with a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to remove grime and maintain grip. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
