FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while they share roots with vintage running shoes, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and do not have the technical support required for long-distance running.

How do I determine if 5 UK is the right size?

We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the adidas size guide. The 5 UK size typically correlates to standard adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the midsole. Please refer to the manual cleaning steps provided.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, most SL 72 OG models feature removable insoles, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.

Does the leather require a protector spray?

Using a water-repellent spray designed for leather can help protect the surface from light rain and stains.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

This specific version of the SL 72 OG is constructed with a leather upper and a rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper looking dull or dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and buff gently with a soft cloth.

Creasing in the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap for wax-coated laces to increase friction and grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight feel despite leather construction
  • Durable rubber outsole provides excellent grip
  • Timeless design suitable for versatile styling
  • Padded collar prevents common irritation points

Cons

  • Leather requires more maintenance than synthetic materials
  • Low-profile silhouette offers less arch support than performance running shoes
  • Limited to specific colorways in the OG series

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your adidas Originals SL 72 OG trainers in top condition, ensure you choose the correct size; they generally fit standard, but leather does not stretch as much as knit materials over time.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after use.
  2. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to spot clean the leather upper.
  3. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  4. Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack.
  5. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to maintain material suppleness.
