FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running or sports?

While inspired by classic running shoes, the adidas SL 72 is primarily designed for casual wear, light activity, and lifestyle purposes. For serious running or high-intensity sports, we recommend specialized performance footwear.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

For the nylon upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and a specialized cleaner. For leather accents, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always refer to the product label for detailed care instructions and avoid immersing the shoes in water.

What is an EVA midsole?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a soft, flexible, and lightweight material used in shoe midsoles. It provides cushioning and absorbs impact, offering comfort during walking and light activity.

Is the sizing true to fit?

adidas sizing is generally consistent. We recommend checking the adidas size guide if you're unsure, and trying them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The nylon upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the suede and leather accents are not waterproof. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.

What does 'Ecotex tongue' mean?

The Ecotex tongue refers to a specific textile material used for the shoe's tongue, contributing to its texture and overall comfort. While 'Ecotex' often implies sustainability, its primary function here is comfort and aesthetic texture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Wear thin socks initially to break them in. If discomfort persists, consider checking if a different size might be more suitable.

Suede overlays appear dirty or scuffed.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid water saturation.

Nylon upper looks dull or has minor stains.

Wipe the nylon sections with a damp cloth and mild soap (like diluted laundry detergent). Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside before reinserting. Ensure laces are tied securely.
