FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The SL 72 RS trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort and some cushioning, they are not engineered for high-impact running and may not provide adequate support or protection for such activities.

How do I clean the silver metallic accents?

Gently wipe the silver accents with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing.

What is the material of the midsole?

The midsole is made of lightweight EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), which provides cushioning and shock absorption for comfort.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles. If they get wet, ensure they are dried properly as per the care instructions.

What is the fit like for these trainers?

The fit is generally considered true to size for most adults. They feature a lace-up closure for adjustability. If unsure, consulting a size guide or trying them on is recommended.

How do I maintain the premium leather finish?

Regularly clean with a damp cloth, use a leather conditioner periodically, and consider a protective spray. Avoid exposure to harsh elements and excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffs or marks easily.

Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to gently remove marks. For prevention, apply a leather protector spray.

Tread feels slippery on wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While the grip is designed for varied surfaces, extreme wet conditions may reduce traction. Exercise caution.

Discomfort after initial wear.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight.

Color transfer from red leather.

This is rare with proper treatment. If observed, ensure the shoes are completely dry and have not been exposed to excessive moisture or friction against light-colored clothing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. While designed for general wear, compatibility with specific athletic activities is limited.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  2. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for red leather to guard against stains and water damage.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
