FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the SL 72 RS is lightweight, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer and not for distance running or high-impact athletic performance.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as this can degrade the adhesives and material structure. Stick to hand cleaning.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the adidas SL 72 RS fits true to standard UK sizing. We recommend ordering your usual size for the best fit.

What is the primary material used?

The trainers feature a mixed-material construction designed for both visual appeal and daily comfort, often featuring durable textiles and synthetic overlays.

Are the insoles removable?

Many adidas trainers feature removable sockliners, but the fit is optimized for the included insole. Replace only if using custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulation on the white detailing

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap-water mixture on a soft cloth to gently wipe the area.

Footwear feeling damp or holding odors

Remove the inner sockliner (if removable) and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated space. Avoid direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For spot cleaning, apply a mild detergent diluted in water using a damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Avoid leaving them in a damp gym bag for extended periods.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard UK size 12 trainers. If you are transitioning from different adidas models, check the internal size label to ensure a consistent fit, as sizing can vary slightly between sub-series.
