FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature an Aditex membrane which is weather-resistant, meaning they provide protection against light rain and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof.
How do I determine my size?
The SL 72 RS follows standard adidas sizing. We recommend checking your size against the provided UK sizing chart for an accurate fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. The leather construction and technical membrane should not be submerged in water or machine washed, as this will damage the materials.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, supported by a serrated rubber outsole.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they lack the technical support and impact protection required for running.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
Natural creasing is expected with premium leather; using a cedar shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Water spots on the leather
Gently wipe the entire surface with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SL 72 RS trainers, follow these maintenance practices:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the Olive Strata finish.
- Moisture Protection: While the Aditex membrane offers internal protection, applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather can help preserve the exterior finish against scuffs and stains.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or drying out.
- Fitment: The SL 72 RS features a reshaped fit. If you are transitioning from older adidas models, you may find the internal structure feels more supportive around the arch.
