FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the SL 72 OG series typically fits true to standard UK adult sizing, though if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider half a size up.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the moisture and agitation can ruin the leather material and the adhesive bonding of the sole.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the technical support features required for distance or professional running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They offer standard support suitable for everyday walking, but individuals with specific orthopedic needs may need to swap in custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper is showing minor scuffs.
Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for footwear and follow with a color-matched cream or neutral wax polish.
The insoles feel compressed or uncomfortable after heavy use.
Consider replacing the original insoles with aftermarket orthotics or cushioned insoles if you require extra arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Originals SL 72 OG trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel stiff initially; wear them indoors for short periods to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents which can damage the finish.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant red and purple colors from fading.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the exterior from unexpected rain or debris.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot for maximum comfort.
