FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the SL 72 OG typically fits true to standard adult sizing, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.

Can I use these for running?

While inspired by 1972 racing shoes, these are designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than modern athletic performance running.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed of breathable nylon, accented with leather and suede overlays.

How do I clean the EVA midsole?

Wipe the EVA foam carefully with a cloth dampened in warm water and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the insole removable?

The insole is standard; however, for best comfort, we recommend using the factory-fitted insert.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

The breathable nylon upper is not waterproof, so they are best suited for dry or mild weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede overlays

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft toothbrush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Slippery outsole grip

Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated debris or wax that may be reducing traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable for all-day wear
  • Versatile retro aesthetic that matches various styles
  • EVA midsole provides responsive everyday cushioning
  • Excellent grip provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Low-profile silhouette offers limited arch support
  • Not suitable for high-intensity athletic training
  • Light-colored materials may show dirt more easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To maintain the appearance of the suede and leather accents, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each wear. If the nylon or midsole becomes stained, a damp cloth with a mild detergent can be used for spot cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity of the overlays. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration over time.
