FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The SL 72 PT is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking, they do not provide the technical support required for high-intensity running.
What is the primary material used?
This model features durable nylon, which provides a lightweight feel and distinctive retro appearance.
How should I clean the gold nylon sections?
Spot clean only using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding any harsh chemicals that might alter the colour.
Does this model fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to the standard UK sizing guide. If you are between sizes, consider your usual adidas fit.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the agitation and heat can damage the adhesives and structural integrity of the nylon.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on nylon fabric
Gently blot with a solution of water and mild detergent using a microfiber cloth; do not soak.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Slippery soles
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris and ensure full grip on smooth surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 PT trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains on the nylon, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the gold fabric.
- Moisture: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape while air-drying. Avoid using high-heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most users, but ensure you are utilizing the correct UK size, such as the 8.5 specification, for optimal support.
