FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual everyday wear, not for high-intensity athletic running.

How do I clean the rubber outsole?

Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to scrub the rubber, then wipe with a clean damp cloth.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Yes, natural leather will soften and slightly stretch to accommodate your foot shape with consistent use.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the lace-up closure is standard, and you can replace them with any comparable flat lace style.

Are these unisex?

The SL 72 RS series is often styled for versatility, though sizing is categorized by specific adult UK measurements.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Stains on the leather surface

Use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Slippage inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are tightened properly; if the issue persists, consider replacing the insole with a high-friction insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 RS trainers maintain their condition, it is recommended to treat the leather with a protective spray before initial use. For daily upkeep, wipe down the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the leather in water, as this can degrade the material and affect the adhesive bonds of the outsole. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading or cracking. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from high-heat sources like radiators.
