FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 RS trainers are primarily designed for casual wear. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or features required for intense running or athletic training.
What material are the SL 72 RS trainers made of?
The product description mentions leather as a material for some variants, and typically these trainers feature a combination of leather, synthetic materials, and rubber for the sole.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer, usually based on UK, EU, or US sizing. The product specifies UK adult foot sizes.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers offer a non-slip sole for grip, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
How should I clean the EVA midsole?
Wipe the EVA midsole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
What is the main benefit of the thick sole?
The thick sole design contributes to a sturdy feel underfoot and provides durable cushioning. The textured surface also enhances grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot and toe box, and re-tie them to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for traction, some extremely smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For extended use in wet conditions, consider the limitations of the tread pattern.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean the shoes promptly if they come into contact with staining substances. Use appropriate cleaners for the specific material (e.g., leather cleaner for leather parts).
