FAQs

Are Adidas SL 72 Trainers true to size?

Generally, Adidas SL 72 Trainers fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are unsure, you may refer to Adidas' official size guide.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Due to the suede upper, it is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be sensitive to water and may stain or get damaged. Applying a waterproof protective spray designed for suede can offer some resistance to light moisture.

What is the best way to clean the suede material?

For routine cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For marks, a suede eraser can be used. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaning solution applied according to its instructions is recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The Adidas SL 72 Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual footwear, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While they provide good grip and cushioning, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

What kind of cushioning do these trainers have?

These trainers feature a lightweight EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole, which provides responsive cushioning and support for comfortable all-day wear.

Is the sole durable?

Yes, the Adidas SL 72 Trainers feature a durable rubber outsole designed to provide excellent grip and traction, contributing to the shoe's overall longevity for daily use.

Are these trainers considered unisex?

While the SL 72 design is often considered suitable for all genders due to its classic silhouette, the specific variant listed is categorized for 'Female' in the product attributes. They are generally styled to be versatile for anyone who appreciates the aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.

Stains on the suede upper

For fresh, light stains, try a suede eraser. For oil-based or set-in stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution following product instructions. Act quickly to prevent stains from setting.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath it.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Sole has reduced grip

Check the outsole for dirt or small debris lodged in the tread. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth or soft brush to restore traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Timeless Style: Classic design that remains fashionable.
Comfortable Cushioning: EVA midsole provides good support for daily use.
Excellent Grip: Rubber outsole offers reliable traction.
Premium Material Feel: Suede upper adds a touch of quality and softness.

Cons

Suede Maintenance: Requires specific cleaning and care to prevent damage and maintain appearance.
Limited Performance: Primarily designed for casual wear, not optimized for intense athletic activities.
Weather Sensitivity: Suede can be susceptible to water damage and staining in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Adidas SL 72 Trainers is straightforward. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust the lacing for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is seated firmly against the back of the shoe.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with:

Denim: Classic blue or black jeans.
Chinos & Trousers: For a refined yet relaxed look.
Shorts: Ideal for warmer weather, maintaining a clean aesthetic.
Casual Dresses/Skirts: For a comfortable, sporty-chic contrast.

Care & Maintenance (Suede Specific)

Given the premium suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity.

Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray to repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray manufacturer.
Regular Cleaning:

Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
For scuffs or marks, use a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) with gentle, short strokes.
For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner solution specifically designed for suede and nubuck. Follow the product instructions carefully, typically applying with a clean cloth and then brushing the nap after drying.

Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes not designed for suede.
