FAQs
Are the Adidas SL 72 RS unisex?
Yes, these trainers are designed as a unisex model, making them suitable for anyone who appreciates the classic retro style.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are based on a vintage running silhouette, they lack the advanced cushioning and support found in modern performance running shoes and are intended for casual lifestyle use.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
The sizes listed are in UK Adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size for the best fit.
Can I use these in the rain?
While they are durable, the materials used in the SL 72 RS are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the quality of the upper materials.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
These trainers offer standard arch support typical of low-profile lifestyle footwear. If you require specialized orthotics, the factory insole can often be replaced.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel stiff when new.
Like most high-quality footwear, these trainers may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to soften to your foot shape.
Visible scuffs on the suede elements.
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift and remove surface scuffs and dirt.
Laces becoming undone frequently.
Ensure the laces are threaded properly and double-knot them if the material is particularly smooth or prone to slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are selecting the correct UK adult size, as these trainers are cut to standard proportions.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and a damp cloth on the upper materials. Avoid machine washing, which can compromise the glue and structural integrity of the shoes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stiffening.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for the specific materials used in your pair to repel water and stains.
