Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the upper

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the SL 72 OG follows a traditional trainer construction. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized materials. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. If the shoes become wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from stiffening or losing their shape. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
