FAQs

What materials are these trainers made from?

The Adidas SL 72 OG trainers feature high-quality leather uppers with hairy suede overlays for texture, an EVA midsole for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole for grip.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports activities?

These trainers are primarily designed for everyday casual wear and athleisure. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not engineered for high-impact running or specialized sports performance.

How do I properly clean the suede parts of my trainers?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner (following its instructions) is recommended. Always allow to air dry completely.

What does the EVA midsole do?

The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight and flexible cushioning, absorbing impact with each step to enhance comfort during everyday wear.

Is the sizing true to fit?

> Info needed: General sizing advice for Adidas SL 72 OG. Most users find Adidas shoes to be true to size, but individual fit preferences can vary. Always check official size guides if unsure.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials are durable, leather and especially suede can be susceptible to water damage. It's recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both materials to offer some protection, and to avoid heavy rain or standing water.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

Yes, the Adidas SL 72 OG series often comes in a variety of sizes and colorways. This specific variant is Green, UK 7.5 (Female). Please check available stock for other options.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Check if the lacing is too tight; try loosening them. Allow for a short break-in period, as leather can mold slightly to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.

Suede overlays appear matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

The rubber outsole is designed for general grip. Ensure the tread is clean and free of debris. While durable, these are not specialized for extreme conditions; adjust your expectations for very slick or uneven terrain.

Trainers develop an odor.

Ensure trainers are fully air-dried after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Sole separation or damage.

Inspect for any manufacturing defects upon purchase. For minor separations, a shoe adhesive may provide a temporary fix. For significant damage, refer to Adidas's warranty policy for potential repair or replacement options. > Info needed: Adidas warranty details.

Care Instructions

Caring for your Adidas SL 72 OG trainers involves attention to both the leather and suede components.

  1. Regular Cleaning:
  • Brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush for suede areas).
  • For leather sections, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and air dry.
  • For hairy suede overlays, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. Always follow the product instructions.
  1. Stain Removal:
  • Address stains immediately. For suede, a suede eraser can be effective for dry stains.
  • For leather, a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers can be used.
  1. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede before first wear and periodically thereafter.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
