FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running or gym workouts?

While the SL 72 has roots as a running shoe, the modern leather version is best suited for casual wear and light activities. For high-performance running or intense gym workouts, more specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I clean the premium leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat, and consider using a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.

What is the fit like for the adidas SL 72?

The SL 72 generally offers a snug, classic fit. As they are leather, they may conform to your foot shape slightly over time. For specific sizing guidance, refer to adidas's official size chart.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. A leather protectant spray can offer additional water resistance.

Are there other material options for the SL 72?

Yes, the SL 72 series is also available in other materials such as Suede and Nylon, offering different textures and looks. This specific model features a premium leather construction.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the trainers thoroughly and apply a quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft cloth for shine.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, check your sock thickness.

Serrated outsole seems to accumulate dirt easily.

Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and warm soapy water to clean the grooves of the serrated rubber outsole. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Cons

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather SL 72 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather regularly. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can crack or shrink the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner product's instructions.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to create a barrier against water and stains, especially before wearing them in wet conditions.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
