FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The SL72 RS generally fits true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to check the specific size guide if you are between sizes.
Can these trainers be used for running?
While they are inspired by vintage athletic footwear, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and do not offer the support and cushioning required for high-performance running.
How do I maintain the Black and White finish?
Regularly brush off dust and spot clean with a damp cloth. Using a protective spray suitable for nylon can also help repel light moisture and dirt.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this specific series is designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the nylon construction is breathable but not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Relace the shoes using an alternative lacing pattern, such as the 'bar lace' method for a cleaner look or 'criss-cross' for extra stability.
Surface stains appearing on the nylon
Gently dab the stained area with a mixture of water and a very small amount of mild detergent, ensuring you do not soak the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required—simply adjust the laces to your preferred tension upon first wear. To ensure longevity, keep the trainers away from excessive mud or harsh cleaning chemicals. If they get dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can degrade the nylon upper and the adhesive bonding of the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
