FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while they are inspired by classic running designs, they lack the technical cushioning and support required for modern running activities.

How should I clean the white sections?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Most users find the adidas SL 72 RS fits true to size, though personal preference for fit can vary.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, if the insole is removable, you can replace it with orthotics or aftermarket insoles to adjust the comfort level.

Is the material waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

This is normal for casual lifestyle trainers. To minimize it, ensure you use a proper shoe horn when putting them on and store with shoe trees.

Difficulty removing dirt from the white upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently lift surface stains rather than scrubbing aggressively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile and understated design fits most wardrobes
  • Faithful recreation of classic running footwear aesthetics
  • Lightweight feel provides all-day comfort
  • Iconic branding with clear contrast

Cons

  • Low-profile sole offers less impact support than modern performance trainers
  • White upper requires frequent cleaning to maintain a pristine look
  • Limited to casual lifestyle use rather than intense sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before your first wear to ensure a secure fit. The SL 72 RS pairs exceptionally well with slim or tapered denim and casual cotton trousers due to the low-profile sole. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the white upper. To preserve the shape, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and consider using shoe trees if you intend to store them for long periods.
