FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, while the original SL 72 was a running shoe, this modern version with a pony hair upper is designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not athletic performance.

How do I clean the pony hair upper?

Gently brush with a soft, dry brush. For spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap and blot. Avoid harsh rubbing or soaking the shoes. Air dry only.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are not waterproof. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed material footwear to offer some protection against moisture.

What materials are used in the shoe?

The shoes feature a textile and leather upper with pony hair detail, a textile lining, an EVA midsole, and a rubber outsole.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

They are designed with a regular fit. Most users find them to fit true to their standard adidas size. If unsure, consult the adidas size guide.

Can I wear these in all seasons?

The adidas Originals SL 72 OG is best suited for dry, mild to warm weather. The pony hair upper may not hold up well in heavy rain or snow without proper protection.

Is the textured tongue comfortable?

Yes, the textured tongue is designed for added comfort and is a subtle design element that enhances the overall feel of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair looks matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft, dry brush in the direction of the hair to restore its texture. For dirt, spot clean as per care instructions.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. If the fit is consistently off, check the size chart for accuracy.

Squeaking sound when walking

Sometimes new shoes can squeak. This often resolves with wear. If it persists, ensure the tongue is properly aligned and not rubbing excessively against the laces or upper. You can also try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme conditions like ice or highly polished wet floors may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris that could reduce grip.

Discoloration or fading of animal print

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time. Proper storage away from light is key.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the unique pony hair upper and overall condition of your SL 72 OG shoes.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, gently brush the pony hair upper with a soft, dry brush. For more stubborn spots, use a damp (not wet) cloth with a mild soap solution and blot gently. Avoid harsh rubbing.
  2. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the materials, especially the pony hair.
  3. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for footwear with mixed materials, especially if you plan to wear them in varying weather conditions.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  6. Outsole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or soft brush to clean the rubber outsole, removing dirt and debris.
