FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature athletic design elements, the SL 72 RS is intended as a lifestyle trainer and is not specifically engineered for performance running.

How do I clean the white accents?

You can clean the white rubber or fabric parts using a cloth dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild dish soap, then air dry away from heat sources.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a durable combination of leather and fabric.

Do these trainers run large or small?

These trainers are generally designed to fit true to standard adult sizing.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can cause damage to the materials and the adhesive bonds. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the fabric upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.

The trainers feel stiff when new

Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the materials to flex and conform to your foot shape naturally.

Slippery grip on smooth surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for buildup of debris or grease and wipe the soles clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers fit true to size for most adult male users. To ensure they last, it is recommended to keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean the leather portions with a soft, damp cloth and use a gentle brush for the fabric areas to remove dust and dirt. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoes. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading or cracking.
