While the SL 72 was originally designed as a running shoe in 1972, its modern iteration is best suited for casual wear and light activities. For high-performance running, we recommend dedicated running shoes with advanced cushioning and support technologies.
For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit is recommended. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the material. Always allow them to air dry.

The SL 72 features a lightweight EVA midsole that provides cushioning and basic support for everyday comfort. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding custom or over-the-counter insoles.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or dedicated suede cleaner can be used, following the product instructions carefully.
The EVA midsole provides cushioning, but over extended use, it may compress. Consider replacing the original insoles with new ones for renewed cushioning and support. Ensure the shoe size is still appropriate.
This can sometimes happen if insoles are rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can reduce friction. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry.
