FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 OG trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activity. They offer cushioning but are not specialized for high-impact running.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn stains, a small amount of mild soap and water can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
How do I ensure I choose the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is recommended, especially if you are unfamiliar with the brand's sizing.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials.
What is the main difference between SL 72 and SL 72 OG?
The 'OG' typically refers to an original or retro version of the model, often aiming to replicate the design and materials of the initial release more closely.
Do these trainers have arch support?
The SL 72 OG features an EVA midsole for cushioning, which provides some support. However, they are not designed with specialized orthopedic arch support.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied easily
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing them with longer or textured laces for better grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to avoid pressure points.
Outer sole showing signs of wear
Regular cleaning of the outsole can help maintain its grip. For significant wear, consider professional resoling if available for this model.
Leather appearing dry or creased
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Avoid over-conditioning, which can make the leather too soft.
