FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The SL 72 OG is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not as a performance running shoe.

How do I determine if size 6 is right for me?

Size 6 UK is a standard adult size; if you are between sizes, consider the width of your foot as this model has a slim profile.

What materials are used in the construction?

The shoes feature a mix of materials such as nylon and premium detailing consistent with the original 1970s design.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the structural integrity and materials; stick to hand-cleaning.

Are these unisex?

While listed for female sizing, the retro aesthetic and colorway are suitable for anyone who appreciates the classic silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight initially

The materials may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to the shape of your foot; try wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Visible dirt on white detailing

Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with a gentle soap solution to carefully wipe down the white areas.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality construction and materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since they feature a specific colour profile, spot clean the nylon and detailing with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the contrast between the black and white elements. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Check the fit upon arrival to ensure the size 6 UK is appropriate for your specific foot shape, as vintage-style trainers often have a slightly narrower profile than modern technical sneakers.
