FAQs
Are the adidas SL72 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing; we recommend choosing your usual UK shoe size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede accents and the structural integrity of the nylon; always clean by hand.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they were originally designed for track athletes, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-performance running.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is primarily made of lightweight nylon with soft suede overlays, supported by an EVA foam midsole.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The nylon material is breathable, not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on nylon upper
Gently clean with a damp cloth and a very mild detergent solution, then air dry away from heat sources.
Creasing near the toe box
This is normal for nylon materials; use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL72 trainers stay in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the nylon upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust from the suede accents. Do not use water on suede as it may cause discoloration.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the blue nylon.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. For the best fit, ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use daily when measuring your feet.
