FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 PT is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not for high-intensity running.
How should I clean the white sections?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the white rubber elements.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, this model follows standard adult sizing. It features a regular fit that accommodates most foot shapes.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally fixed, but if you require custom orthotics, ensure they are thin enough to maintain the internal volume of the shoe.
Are these made of real leather?
Yes, the construction uses high-quality leather for the upper, providing durability and a premium feel.
What is the function of the heel wedge?
The cellular rubber heel wedge provides structural support and impact absorption, which adds to the overall comfort of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper feels stiff.
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the material to naturally flex and conform to your foot.
Outsole loses grip.
Check for debris or dirt trapped in the tread and wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SL 72 PT trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The trainers feature a regular fit. Lace them firmly but comfortably to allow the upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Maintenance: If the leather becomes damp, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
