FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Adidas SL 72 trainers generally fit true to size for a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Due to the suede upper, these trainers are not recommended for wear in rainy or wet conditions, as water can stain or damage the material. Consider applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.
How do I clean the suede material?
For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always follow the product's instructions and avoid water or harsh chemicals.
What is an EVA midsole?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and cushioned material used in midsoles to absorb impact and provide comfort during wear.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
While originating from a track shoe design, the Adidas SL 72 Suede Trainers are now best suited for casual wear and light daily activities due to their classic construction and suede material. They are not designed for performance running or intense sports.
What does 'OG' mean in the SL 72 OG series?
'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Originals', indicating that the design is a faithful recreation or homage to the original version of the shoe from the past, often retaining key design elements and materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction for a uniform appearance.
Water spots on suede
If already dry, try using a suede eraser on the spots. For fresh spots, lightly dampen the entire area with a clean cloth and allow to air dry evenly to prevent further spotting.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Suede may stretch slightly over time.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing, dusting, and reinserting the insole. If the sole squeaks, it might be due to trapped air or moisture; ensure shoes are fully dry.

Care Instructions for Suede Trainers
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning: For dirt or light stains, use a suede brush to gently brush off dry debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Water Exposure: Avoid wearing in rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Deep Cleaning (Rare): For persistent stains, professional suede cleaning is recommended.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
