FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the SL 72 Rs is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual daily wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adidas products.

How should I clean my black SL 72 Rs?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes or using harsh chemicals.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are designed to be part of the shoe's structure, but they can be replaced with thin aftermarket orthotics if preferred.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While they can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof and are best kept dry to maintain material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels slightly stiff out of the box

Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the materials to break in and contour to your foot shape.

Accumulation of dust on black fabric

Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove dust and keep the black finish looking uniform.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, classic design that never goes out of style
  • Highly versatile black colourway
  • Durable build quality suitable for frequent wear
  • Comfortable fit for everyday urban environments

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic training
  • Limited colour options in this specific variant
  • Material may show dust or scuffs more clearly on the black surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 Rs trainers last, proper care is essential. Since they arrive ready to wear, there is no technical setup required. For compatibility, these trainers run true to standard UK sizing; it is recommended to wear them with medium-weight cotton or performance socks to maintain the intended interior fit. To keep them looking fresh, wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
