FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The SL 72 trainers are inspired by racing heritage and offer comfort for everyday wear. For marathon running or high-impact athletics, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.

How do I clean the leather and perforated sections?

The shoes are machine washable according to the care label. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth on the leather and ensure the perforations are clear of debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing durability and traction.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

The trainers feature an EVA midsole for cushioning and general comfort. For specific arch support needs, consider using insoles designed for your foot type.

What is the primary purpose of the perforated sides?

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if the laces need loosening during wear. Leather can stretch slightly over time.

Discoloration on leather upper

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If machine washable, follow care label instructions precisely.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber sole offers traction on most surfaces, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.
