FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while they are comfortable for walking, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
How do I determine my size?
The SL 72 OG series generally fits true to size. Refer to the UK sizing guide for your specific foot measurements.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole construction.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Leather naturally softens and conforms to the foot, but it should not stretch significantly if the initial size is correct.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
The leather upper offers basic protection against light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
How long should the sole last?
With standard daily usage on concrete or indoor surfaces, the durable rubber outsole is designed to provide long-term wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on leather surface
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild leather cleanser, then buff with a soft, dry cloth.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double-knot or check for lace degradation, replacing with standard flat athletic laces if necessary.
Minor scuffs on the outsole
Use a white pencil eraser to gently remove scuff marks from the rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather care, use a damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner; avoid harsh chemical solvents.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the silver and green accents over time.
- Moisture: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth to maintain shape while air-drying. Never place them in a clothes dryer.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though those preferring thicker socks may consider sizing up a half-step.
