FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the SL72 RS typically follows standard adult sizing. It is advised to use your current UK footwear size.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These are lifestyle trainers. While suitable for casual walking, they lack the technical support required for heavy weightlifting or intense cross-training.
How should I clean the white accents?
A soft-bristled brush or a white eraser can often remove surface marks on the white midsole without needing water.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the nylon material is breathable and will allow water to pass through, so they are not recommended for heavy rain.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed mainly from durable nylon, which provides the lightweight feel the series is known for.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to insert custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creasing.
Surface stains on the nylon upper
Gently dab with a damp, soft cloth using a small amount of neutral detergent; avoid scrubbing to prevent fabric fraying.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure they are tightened properly or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if they slip due to the smooth texture of the standard ones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL72 RS trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines. As these shoes feature nylon, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and material texture. Instead, spot clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading. For sizing, these are standard adult fits, but it is recommended to check your specific UK size measurement as indicated on the shoe label to ensure optimal comfort.
