FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The SL 72 trainers were originally inspired by racing but are now best suited for casual wear and everyday comfort. They may not provide the advanced support and cushioning required for intense or prolonged running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

The product description indicates machine washability, suggesting a primary method of cleaning. Always refer to the specific care label attached to the product for detailed instructions on washing and drying.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The composition includes a leather upper, a synthetic lining, and a 100% rubber sole.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The SL 72 features an EVA midsole for comfort, but they are not specifically designed with advanced arch support for medical needs. Users requiring significant arch support might consider adding insoles.

What is the main advantage of the perforated sides?

The perforated detailing on the sides of the leather upper enhances breathability, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable during wear.

Are there other color options available?

This specific product is described as Blue/White. Please check the product listing or retailer for availability of other colorways in the SL 72 series.

What does 'SL' stand for in SL 72?

The 'SL' in SL 72 historically stands for 'Sport Light,' reflecting the shoe's original design focus on lightness and speed for athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Different models may have slight variations. Consider trying on different sizes if possible or checking user reviews for sizing feedback.

Discomfort during initial wear

The trainers may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.

Premature wear on the sole

Inspect the sole for any manufacturing defects. For normal wear and tear, consider the intensity of use; these trainers are best suited for casual activities rather than heavy athletic training.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athletic-inspired clothing.

Care:
