FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas SL 72 OG trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light walking. They may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for serious running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I determine the right size?

It is recommended to consult the official adidas sizing guide for UK shoe sizes. Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Reading customer reviews regarding fit can also be helpful.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the trainers can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to dry them thoroughly if they get damp.

What is the difference between SL 72 and SL 72 OG?

The 'OG' typically denotes an 'Original' re-release or a version closely inspired by the very first iteration of the shoe, aiming to replicate its authentic vintage look and feel.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular cleaning, the adidas SL 72 OG trainers can last for several years of casual wear. The lifespan depends on the frequency of use and the types of activities they are subjected to.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the adidas sizing chart and compare with your measurements. Consider trying on if possible, or check customer reviews for fit feedback.

Creasing on the upper material

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather or synthetic components. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration of the sole

Yellowing can occur over time with certain sole materials due to oxidation. This is often cosmetic. Gentle cleaning with specialized sole cleaners might help, but avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The adidas SL 72 OG trainers require no setup. Simply unbox and wear them. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide variety of casual clothing. They pair well with denim, cotton trousers, shorts, and casual dresses.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 OG trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
