The SL 72 RS are designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday comfort and casual wear. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for marathon running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Try wearing them with the type of socks you would typically use. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or down, as foot shape can vary.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length. Many shoe repair shops or sports stores carry replacement laces.
Slight color transfer
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Ensure socks are colorfast. For persistent issues, a protective spray designed for trainers might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels too flat
If you require more arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotic inserts designed to fit within trainers.
