FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

They feature a weatherproof membrane that protects against light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.

Can I wear these for running?

No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support and motion control required for dedicated running.

How do I clean the leather?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for stains.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the standard insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotic inserts.

How does the fit compare to previous SL 72 models?

The 'RS' version has been reshaped for an improved, more ergonomic fit compared to the original design.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on leather surface

Gently wipe the entire shoe with a slightly damp cloth to even out moisture and let it air dry completely.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double-knot or tucking the excess loops into the sides of the shoe for a tighter hold.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creases.

Pros and Cons

  • Classic retro-inspired design with modern comfort updates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Originals SL 72 RS trainers last, proper care is essential. Because they feature a leather upper, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and the adhesive bonds. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild leather-safe cleaner. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. Always use the standard lace-up system to achieve a secure fit that matches your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, the interior allows for easy removal of the stock insole to accommodate your inserts.
