FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The SL 72 RS generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may find the slim, heritage silhouette slightly snug.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and leather components and weaken the construction adhesives.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual lifestyle use and do not provide the technical support or impact protection required for running.
How do I clean the white outsole?
You can clean the rubber outsole with a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth or brush.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a standard footbed with an EVA midsole for comfort, but they do not have specialized orthotic-grade arch support.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a clean, dry suede brush to gently lift and remove surface scuffs.
Laces coming loose
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured alternative if slipping persists.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not in use to help the materials retain their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your SL 72 RS trainers, ensure you wear them with appropriate socks to manage moisture. For care, it is essential to use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the suede sections regularly. Avoid machine washing or drying your trainers, as this can degrade the adhesives and warp the materials. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather and suede cleaning solution, applying it sparingly with a cloth. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
