FAQs
What material are the adidas Originals SL 72 RS trainers made of?
The upper is primarily made of leather, with textile lining and a rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They are not recommended for intense running due to their specific construction and cushioning profile.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Check the size guide provided by adidas and consider your usual shoe size. Some users find they may need to size up or down slightly depending on foot width.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain comfort.
How should I maintain the grip tread?
Regularly brush the sole with a stiff brush to remove dirt and debris, ensuring optimal traction. Avoid letting mud or excessive grime build up.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb impact and offer comfort during everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and toe box. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the leather needs a short break-in period.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder inside the shoe or checking if any part of the sole is rubbing against itself.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
