FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 RS has athletic roots, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How do I know if they will fit correctly?
The SL 72 RS fits true to size for most adults. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider opting for a half-size larger than your standard measurement.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, washing leather footwear in a machine can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Always clean by hand.
Is the leather upper breathable?
Leather provides moderate breathability; however, for extremely hot climates, you may find that synthetic mesh alternatives offer slightly better airflow.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Yes, as with most leather footwear, wearing them for short periods over the first few days will allow the leather to conform to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and minimize permanent creases.
Slippage during walking
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary, and check that the outsole grip is free of trapped debris.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 RS trainers maintain their look, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Initial Fit: As these are made of leather, they may feel slightly snug initially. Allow for a short break-in period to let the material soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather upper, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration and material degradation.
- Lacing: Re-lace the shoes periodically to ensure even tension across the instep for the best support.
