FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The SL 72 RS generally fits standard to the sizing indicated; however, if you prefer a roomier fit, consider your standard athletic shoe size.
Can I use these for running?
While originally designed as running trainers, modern technology has advanced significantly; these are now best suited for casual, lifestyle use.
What is the primary material used?
The series utilizes a mix of materials, with this specific variant featuring a lightweight upper with suede or synthetic detailing depending on the model.
How do I keep the white looking bright?
Regular maintenance and avoiding muddy or oily terrain are the best ways to keep the Cloud White upper looking fresh.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The SL 72 RS has a traditional, slim, low-profile fit. Those with wider feet may find the silhouette slightly snug.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white upper
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with retro-style trainers; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh and upper after use.
- Stain Treatment: For minor marks on the white upper, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the materials.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing or material stiffening.
- Weather Protection: Given the light colorway, consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
