FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the SL 72 OG generally fits standard UK sizing, though the low-profile fit can feel slightly snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the materials.
Are these good for running?
While originally designed as running shoes in the 1970s, modern versions are intended for casual lifestyle use rather than professional or intensive sports training.
How do I maintain the leather elements?
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a damp cloth to wipe down leather panels, keeping them moisturized to prevent cracking.
Is the sole flexible?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for natural foot flex, making them comfortable for walking.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider double-knotting or replacing the laces with a textured cotton pair for better friction.
Insole comfort lacking during long walks
The included cushioning is standard; however, the insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert aftermarket orthotic supports.
Staining on the nylon upper
Spot clean gently with a dedicated sneaker foam cleaner using a soft-bristled brush, avoiding excessive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers last, follow these care instructions. For the nylon upper, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to remove surface dirt, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could discolor the material. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent warping or leather/nylon degradation. If the shoes become damp inside, stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Always store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew or odors.
