FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 PT is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support or impact protection required for running.
How do I determine if size 5.5 is right for me?
The UK 5.5 size is standard; we recommend measuring your foot while standing and comparing it to the official adidas sizing guide to ensure optimal fit.
Can these trainers be worn in the rain?
They can handle light exposure, but heavy rain may damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally if they get wet, avoiding direct heat sources.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from a combination of durable textiles and overlays, providing a lightweight feel while maintaining the classic SL 72 silhouette.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them after extensive wear.
Are these shoes unisex?
This specific model is sized for men, but the design is often considered unisex depending on individual fit preference and size conversion.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white sections
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush, focusing only on the soiled areas.
Laces feel too tight or loose
Re-lace the shoes using a traditional criss-cross method to redistribute tension across the eyelets for a customized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 PT trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue tones to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature standard lacing systems; consider using a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter and ensure a snug, long-lasting fit.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for debris and brush out any pebbles or dirt trapped in the tread to maintain traction.
