FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 OG is a lifestyle trainer designed for walking and casual wear, not for long-distance running or athletic training.
Does the leather require special treatment?
It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to shield the material from water and stains while keeping the leather supple.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing as it can damage the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe; manual cleaning is safer.
Are these shoes unisex?
While some variations are gender-specific, the style is generally considered unisex and suitable for anyone who enjoys the retro look.
How do I ensure the right fit?
It is best to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest, and wear the socks you plan to use with the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt stains on the cream-colored panels
Spot clean using a dedicated sneaker cleaner solution and a soft cloth, taking care to dab rather than rub.
Feeling too tight
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly across the midfoot; re-lacing the trainers with slightly more slack can improve overall comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these care and setup recommendations:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to size for most users, but consider your preferred sock thickness when choosing your UK size.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the uppers. For leather or synthetic accents, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the brown and cream fabrics.
- Maintenance: Allow your shoes to air out between wears, especially after a particularly long day, to maintain hygiene and comfort.
