FAQs

What materials are used in the upper of these shoes?

The upper is made from a blend of premium textile and leather, featuring an allover leopard print in pony hair texture.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running?

While the original SL 72 was a running shoe, this version is re-tooled for a modern spin and is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the leopard print pony hair part of the shoe?

Gently wipe the pony hair with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive scrubbing to prevent damage to the print and texture.

What kind of cushioning do these shoes offer?

They feature a lightweight EVA midsole, which provides comfortable cushioning for all-day wear.

Do these shoes provide good grip?

Yes, they are equipped with a durable rubber outsole designed to provide reliable grip and traction.

Are these shoes strictly for women?

This specific variant is listed for 'Female', aligning with the provided product data. However, many adidas SL 72 designs are often considered unisex in style.

What does 'OG' in the name signify?

'OG' stands for 'Original' and indicates that the design pays homage to the original adidas SL 72, which debuted in the 1970s as a pioneering running shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Check your lacing; ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Also, confirm you have selected the correct UK shoe size. Foot size can change, so re-measure if unsure.

Slipping on surfaces

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or trapped debris. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure maximum grip. If wear is significant, consider the shoe's traction may be compromised.

Leopard print appears dull or dirty

Gently clean the pony hair upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, as this can damage the print's texture and vibrancy.

Unpleasant odor from shoes

Ensure shoes are aired out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda sachets. Allow shoes to fully dry if they get wet.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by air trapped between the insole and sole. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe before replacing it.

Care

Maintaining the unique materials of your SL 72 OG shoes will help preserve their appearance and extend their life:

  • Pony Hair Leopard Print Upper: Gently wipe any dirt or spills with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or strong chemical solutions, which can damage the print and texture of the pony hair. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Textile and Leather Areas: For general cleaning, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically formulated for textile and leather materials. Apply with a soft brush or cloth and follow the product's instructions. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • EVA Midsole: Can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  • Rubber Outsole: Regularly clean the outsole with a brush and water to remove debris and maintain optimal traction.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
