FAQs
Are the adidas SL 72 trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort and some responsiveness, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. It's best to avoid getting the suede wet, and consider a suede protector spray for added defense against stains and moisture.
What is the purpose of the Ecotex tongue?
The Ecotex tongue is designed to enhance comfort and provide additional support around the ankle area, contributing to a more secure and pleasant wearing experience.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, especially those with suede or leather elements, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with appropriate cleaners is the preferred method.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
The sizing for adidas SL 72 trainers typically runs true to size for most adult wearers. However, it is always recommended to consult the brand's specific sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, especially if you are between sizes.
What kind of surfaces is the rubber outsole best for?
The rubber outsole is designed to provide good traction on a variety of common surfaces, including pavement, sidewalks, and indoor flooring. It offers reliability for everyday urban and casual environments.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the adidas SL 72 trainers are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture due to their materials, but they are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in time is needed.
Suede appears discolored or dirty.
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to gently lift stains and restore the nap. Protect from moisture in the future.
Outsole offers poor grip.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check the tread for excessive wear; if significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
