FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While based on a heritage running design, these are currently marketed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for modern long-distance athletic training.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive for the crystals and ruin the suede accents. Always clean by hand.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is primarily lightweight nylon, complemented by suede overlays and high-quality leather accents.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The shoe provides moderate support consistent with a retro-style trainer, suitable for daily casual wear.

Is the leather used in this shoe genuine?

Yes, the product includes authentic leather accents for structural support and style.

How do I choose the right size?

The Adidas SL 72 generally fits true to size. Refer to the size guide provided to confirm your specific UK measurement.

Troubleshooting

Crystals look dull or dusty

Use a can of compressed air to gently blow away debris from between the crystals.

Suede appears matted or flat

Use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently brush the fibers in one direction to restore the nap.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Replace standard laces with high-friction cotton laces or use a double-knot technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adidas SL 72 trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede and leather areas. For the nylon body, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient. Avoid rubbing the crystal areas vigorously to prevent detachment.
  2. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors and weaken adhesives over time.
  3. Protection: Consider using a suede-specific water repellent spray on the suede overlays to protect them from moisture and light stains.
  4. Fit: These trainers are designed for standard adult sizing. If you prefer extra space for thicker socks, consider testing with your preferred hosiery before long periods of wear.
