FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 OG is categorized as a casual trainer and lacks the technical cushioning and support required for high-impact athletic running.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn spots, use a gentle soap specifically formulated for leather care.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The SL 72 OG typically fits true to standard sizing. If you have wider feet, you may prefer a half-size larger for extra room.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you need extra orthotic support, you can generally remove the existing liners and insert your own custom insoles.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to provide light protection against splashes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied with a double knot or look into using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase friction.
Leather looks dull after exposure to elements
Use a dedicated leather conditioner or a mild leather-safe cream to restore moisture and shine to the material.
Heel slipping while walking
Adjust the lace tightness starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to secure the midfoot, which will prevent heel lift.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your SL 72 OG trainers involves a proper fit and consistent maintenance. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; as a low-profile shoe, a proper lace-up tension is key to preventing heel slippage. For care, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt or debris. To maintain the structural integrity, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. If the shoes become damp inside, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
