FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Adidas SL 72 Kids Trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. They offer comfort and a retro style but may not provide the specialized support needed for intense athletic training.
How do I clean the blue suede parts?
For suede, use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to remove dirt. Avoid using water or harsh cleaners on suede as it can stain or damage the material. A suede eraser can be used for marks.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, making the shoes comfortable for extended periods of wear and active play.
Can these trainers be washed in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the nylon, suede, and adhesive components. Gentle spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What does 'SL 72' stand for?
The 'SL' in SL 72 stands for 'Super Light', reflecting the shoe's original design emphasis on minimal weight when it was first released in 1972.
Are there other color or material options available?
Yes, the SL 72 series is available in various colors and sometimes different material combinations, such as leather overlays, across different size ranges and age groups.
Troubleshooting
Dirt on suede areas
Use a dedicated suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently remove dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
General grime on nylon
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Allow for a break-in period as the shoes adapt to the child's foot. If the tightness persists and is uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
Soles becoming detached
For minor detachment, a strong adhesive designed for footwear may be used. If the detachment is significant, consult a professional shoe repair service or consider replacement.
