FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the SL 72 RS is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic running or high-impact sports.

How do I clean the yellow fabric?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent and gently dab the stained area. Do not scrub harshly as it may fray the material.

What does the 'RS' in the name stand for?

The 'RS' refers to the Resurgent series, which updates the original 1970s design with modern manufacturing standards.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing conventions for adult trainers.

Can I replace the insoles?

While the factory insoles provide standard comfort, you can replace them with custom orthotics if they are thin enough to fit within the shoe's internal volume.

Is the material waterproof?

The trainers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to prevent moisture damage to the suede and textile components.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede or fabric parts

Use a specialized dry suede brush or a damp cloth with gentle soap to carefully remove surface stains.

Tight fit around the instep

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a looser configuration to alleviate pressure on the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas SL 72 RS trainers stay in top condition, follow these simple care steps: Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources to protect the adhesive and materials. Clean the exterior surfaces regularly using a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the structure and color vibrancy. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the SL 72 RS offers a true-to-size feel for most adult foot shapes.
