FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of suede, providing a premium look and feel.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically built for high-impact running.
How do I clean the brown suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and avoid excessive moisture.
What does the EVA midsole do?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb shock and enhance comfort during wear.
What is the main color of these trainers?
The main color is brown, with secondary white accents.
Are these trainers unisex?
This specific listing is for men's sizing (Male, UK 11.5). However, adidas SL 72 models are often available in unisex sizing depending on the specific variant.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The outsole features a textured grip tread designed to enhance traction and stability on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces to create more room or tighten them for a snugger fit. Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique for your foot shape.
Suede becoming dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Tread losing grip over time
Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt and debris can reduce traction. If the tread pattern is visibly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort around the ankle or heel
Ensure the laces are correctly tied to provide adequate support. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check if the sock worn with the shoes is providing adequate cushioning and preventing friction.

Care:
- Cleaning the Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the color and material integrity.
