FAQs

Are the SL72 OG shoes true to size?

Most users find they fit true to size. If you prefer a bit of extra room for thicker socks, consider sizing up by a half size.

Can I run in these shoes?

While originally designed as running shoes in 1972, they lack the advanced cushioning and stability features of modern running trainers and are intended for casual lifestyle use.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the suede overlays and adhesives. Stick to hand cleaning with a soft brush and damp cloth.

Is the material waterproof?

The nylon and suede construction is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a protective spray to help repel light moisture and stains.

What is the primary material used?

The upper consists of a mix of breathable nylon, suede overlays, and leather accents, supported by an EVA midsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore the texture of the material.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases in the nylon and leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, lightweight retro style
  • Highly breathable materials for all-day comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for various casual settings
  • Reliable cushioning from the EVA midsole

Cons

  • Low-profile sole offers minimal arch support
  • Not suitable for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Suede overlays require careful cleaning to avoid damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no special setup; simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot and adjust the fit as needed. The unisex sizing means they are compatible with a wide range of foot shapes. To keep your SL72 OGs in top condition, avoid getting them soaking wet. If they become dusty or lightly soiled, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the suede sections. For the nylon parts, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
