FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed for track athletes, the current SL 72 RS model is intended for casual lifestyle use and lacks the support features of modern technical running shoes.
How do I clean the suede accents?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid getting the suede wet, as it can cause the material to stiffen or change texture.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from lightweight nylon with suede overlays for durability and aesthetic appeal.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The SL 72 RS has a standard, flat profile. If you require significant arch support, you may want to swap the factory insole for an orthotic insert.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but because of the slim profile, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half a size.
Troubleshooting
Outer material shows scuffs or light stains
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff out marks.
Trainers feel too loose or tight
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets for a customized fit or consider a thin aftermarket insole for better volume control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look, clean the nylon and suede surfaces with a soft brush to remove dust or light dirt. Avoid machine washing, as the suede accents can be damaged by water saturation. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap for the nylon panels. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the cream-colored material from discoloring over time. These trainers pair best with casual trousers, jeans, or athletic-leisure wear.
