FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Adidas SL 72 RS trainers are designed with a retro running silhouette but are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for everyday activities but do not provide the advanced support or technology for serious athletic running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically made for leather, testing it on a small, hidden area first.

What is the fit like?

These trainers generally have a regular fit. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

What does 'RS' stand for in SL 72 RS?

The 'RS' likely refers to a specific iteration or update of the original SL 72 model, often indicating refinements or material changes. In this case, it denotes the revival with modern cushioning and premium leather.

How do I maintain the cushioning over time?

The lightweight foam midsole is designed for lasting comfort. Regular wear will naturally conform it to your foot. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat, which can degrade the foam.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of rubber, featuring a tread pattern designed for grip and durability on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them more loosely. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.

Leather looks dry or dull

Apply a leather conditioner or shoe cream specifically designed for leather footwear. Follow product instructions for application.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a cobbler for alternative sole treatments, though this is uncommon for this model.

Stains on the leather

For minor stains, try a specialized leather cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
