FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 OG are inspired by classic running shoes and offer good comfort for walking and casual wear. However, they are not designed for high-performance athletic running and may lack the advanced cushioning and support found in modern running footwear.
How do I clean the leopard print heel counter?
Gently wipe the leopard print area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the print or material.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and nylon.
Are these trainers unisex?
While this specific product description lists them as unisex, variations in sizing and specific models may cater to different gender fit expectations. Always check the size guide.
What makes the midsole 'original'?
The 'original' midsole refers to the design and construction methods that were used in the 1972 model, emphasizing lightweight cushioning for its time.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking for debris on the outsole.
Material scuffing or staining
For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner might help. For stains, address them promptly with a damp cloth. Refer to the care instructions for specific cleaning methods.
