FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 originated as a running shoe, the modern SL 72 RS is intended as a casual lifestyle trainer and does not offer the technical support required for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How should I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently scrub the white accents, avoiding the leather to prevent discoloration.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Most users find the SL 72 RS fits true to size, but since they have a low-profile build, those with wider feet may prefer to try them on for the best fit.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own orthotics for personalized comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Unlace the shoe completely and relace it, adjusting the tension at each eyelet to better accommodate the bridge of your foot.
Visible dirt on the leather surface
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth if necessary; always allow the leather to air dry naturally.
Slippage in the heel area
Ensure the laces are snug near the top eyelets and consider using a slightly thicker sock if the fit remains loose.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Timeless vintage aesthetic
- Durable leather upper
- Reliable traction from rubber outsole
- Secure and adjustable fit
Cons
- Leather requires periodic maintenance
- Limited to specific low-profile style

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, setup simply involves adjusting the laces to your preferred tension upon first wear to ensure the heel remains secure.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the leather clean by wiping away dust and debris with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
- For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the shoe.
- Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can damage the integrity of the leather material.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or drying of the leather finish.
