FAQs
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The trainers primarily feature suede overlays with a textured knit/mesh base.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by racing silhouettes, these trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, not high-performance running.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water saturation and allow to air dry naturally.
What kind of cushioning do they offer?
They feature a cushioned foam midsole designed for shock absorption and comfort during daily activities.
What does 'RS' stand for in SL 72 RS?
The 'RS' typically denotes a reinterpretation or updated version of the original silhouette, often with modern comfort features.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede and mesh materials, these trainers are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp weather.
What is the fit like?
The trainers have a regular fit with a traditional lacing system that allows for a precise and adjustable fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by air drying.
Laces fray easily.
Replace frayed laces with new ones of a similar material or length. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
Bottoms of shoes feel slippery.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For prolonged issues, consider a shoe repair shop for adding traction elements if needed, though the original design should provide adequate grip for casual use.
Fit feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Loosen the laces for more room or tighten them for a snugger feel. Ensure you have the correct UK size for your foot.
