FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The SL 72 trainers have a heritage in racing but are now primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not recommended for high-impact athletic training or competitive running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's or adidas Originals' official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing durability and traction for everyday use.

What does 'SL' stand for in SL 72?

In the context of adidas footwear, 'SL' typically stands for 'Sport Light,' reflecting the shoes' design focus on being lightweight.

Are there other color options available for the SL 72?

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or loose

Check the specific UK size chart provided by adidas Originals. Consider trying on a half-size up or down if possible, as individual foot shapes vary.

Leather upper scuffs easily

Use a leather conditioner or protectant spray designed for footwear. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may be sufficient for cleaning.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber sole offers moderate grip. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces, as these are not specialized wet-weather footwear.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's profile suits your foot type.
