FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals SL 72 RS are primarily designed as casual footwear for everyday wear and urban exploration. While they offer comfort and support, they are not intended for high-performance running or athletic sports.

How should I clean the leather upper?

For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner designed for footwear can be used. Always let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What kind of cushioning do these shoes have?

These shoes feature an EVA midsole, which provides lightweight and responsive cushioning for comfortable daily wear.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

The adidas Originals SL 72 RS features a regular fit with a lace closure, allowing for a customizable fit. Generally, adidas footwear is designed to fit true to size, but individual foot shapes may vary.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may affect the material and comfort.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The primary material for the upper of the adidas Originals SL 72 RS in Blue is high-quality leather, providing durability and a soft feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Loosen or tighten laces systematically from the toe to the ankle to achieve a comfortable, secure fit.

Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Check the rubber outsole for any debris, dirt, or excessive wear. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the sole is significantly worn, traction may be reduced.

Leather upper shows scuffs or minor marks.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs on leather, a specific leather cleaner or conditioner may help restore the finish. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Allow shoes to air dry completely after each use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or natural odor absorbers like baking soda to keep them fresh.

Shoes make squeaking noises when walking.

This can sometimes be due to moisture inside the shoe, or friction between the insole and sole. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside with talcum powder, and reinserting it. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 RS trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe 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.
  2. Lining Care: The synthetic lining can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure it dries thoroughly to prevent odors.
  3. Outsole Maintenance: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris and maintain traction.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
