FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.

Can I use these for running?

These are categorized as lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they lack the specific technical cushioning required for high-impact running.

How do I remove scuffs from the black material?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a soft sponge with mild soapy water to gently buff out scuff marks.

Are they water-resistant?

While durable, they are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a well-ventilated area, preferably out of the box after long days of use to allow moisture to evaporate.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe area

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set if the standard ones are too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 Rs trainers stay in prime condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris after use.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive scrubbing brushes, as these can damage the material finish.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
  4. Drying: If the sneakers become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid using heaters or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the internal structure.
