FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the SL 72 model generally fits true to the standard UK size 8.5 provided.

Can I use these for running?

While inspired by classic running shoes, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use.

How do I keep the white accents clean?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap-and-water mixture with a soft toothbrush for targeted cleaning on white panels.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather construction provides some natural protection, but it is not fully waterproof.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

These trainers offer a minimalist feel; users requiring significant arch support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull after use

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Shoes feel tight after a long day

Loosen the laces slightly throughout the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adidas SL 72 trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps:
