FAQs

Are the SL 72 trainers suitable for running?

The SL 72 trainers are designed with a lightweight feel inspired by racing heritage, but they are best suited for casual wear and walking. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for professional running or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean my adidas Originals SL 72 trainers?

These trainers are machine washable. Please refer to the care label attached to the product for specific washing instructions. Generally, use a gentle cycle and allow them to air dry completely.

What materials are the SL 72 trainers made from?

The trainers feature a leather upper, a synthetic lining, and a 100% rubber sole.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and ensure comfort.

What is the main benefit of the perforated detailing?

The perforated sides on the leather upper are designed to enhance breathability, allowing for better airflow and keeping your feet cooler during wear.

How do these trainers compare to modern running shoes?

Compared to modern running shoes, the SL 72 trainers prioritize a classic aesthetic and lightweight feel for casual comfort. Modern running shoes typically feature more advanced cushioning technologies, stability features, and specialized designs for performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If discomfort persists, try wearing them with thinner socks or allow for a break-in period.

Leather upper scuffed or dirty.

Gently clean the leather with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for trainers. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels reduced.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the sole is dry before use.
