FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas SL 72 trainers generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or thick socks, consider sizing up by a half size.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, it is recommended to hand clean them to preserve the integrity of the materials and adhesives.

Are these suitable for running?

While originally inspired by track heritage, these are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for serious running or athletic training.

What material is the upper made of?

The SL 72 series features various materials depending on the specific model, often including combinations of durable nylon and leather overlays.

Is the white sole hard to keep clean?

Like any white sole, it can show scuffs; however, they can be easily cleaned using a magic eraser or specialized sneaker cleaner.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the upper material

Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris before wiping with a damp cloth.

Odour buildup after frequent use

Remove the insoles to air out and use an odour-neutralizing spray specifically designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last as long as possible, treat them with a water-repellent spray if you live in a damp climate. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the surface, and wipe away stains using a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid submersing the shoes in water or putting them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the materials. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent colour fading.
