Adidas Originals SL 72 RS - Blue - UK 11

The adidas SL 72 RS is designed primarily for casual wear and comfort, not for high-performance running or intense sports activities. While they offer cushioning for everyday use, they lack the specialized support and technology required for athletic training.

These shoes typically run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, refer to the adidas size chart and measure your foot length for accuracy. Consider how thick your typical socks are when choosing a size.

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede upper material. Machine washing can damage the materials, cause discoloration, and ruin the shoe's structure. Always follow the specific care instructions provided for suede.

The upper of the adidas SL 72 RS (Blue, UK 11) is made from high-quality suede, offering a distinctive look and comfortable feel. Other variants of the SL 72 RS may feature different upper materials, such as leather.

The EVA midsole provides general cushioning and comfort for everyday wear. While it offers some support, these shoes are not specifically designed as orthotic or high-arch support footwear. For specific arch support needs, personal insoles may be considered.

It is highly recommended to treat the suede upper with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first wear and to reapply periodically. This creates a protective barrier against liquids and stains.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across the foot. If still uncomfortable, check sizing; shoe size may not be ideal for your foot shape.

Check for trapped debris between the outsole and midsole. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the squeak persists, it might be due to internal friction; sometimes wearing them in resolves this.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, using short, gentle strokes to lift the nap. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used sparingly.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat. Once dry, brush the suede gently.
