FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally track-inspired, these are now considered lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for serious running or high-impact training.
How does the sizing run?
The SL72 RS generally fits true to size, though the slim profile may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How do I best protect the suede?
We recommend applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nylon materials.
Is this shoe gender-specific?
The specific model listed is designed for a male fit, though the style is often considered unisex depending on individual sizing and preference.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning suede accents
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry suede brush to lift surface stains without needing water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the SL72 RS features a mix of nylon and suede, maintain their appearance by brushing the suede areas with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material composition and weaken the adhesives. If the nylon becomes soiled, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant yellow color from fading over time.
