FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 RS is designed as a casual, lifestyle sneaker and does not have the cushioning or support features required for running.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather footwear as water and heat can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction.
How do I choose the correct size?
The SL 72 RS typically follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to check your measurement against the provided UK sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy exposure to water to maintain the integrity of the material.
Does this model offer arch support?
As a classic low-profile trainer, the arch support is minimal. Users who require high levels of arch support may wish to use aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the colour to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double knot the laces or ensure the eyelets are free of debris to maintain a tighter friction grip.
Slippage on very smooth surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for buildup of dust or mud; cleaning the grip pattern with a stiff brush usually restores traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 RS trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff; wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior leather. Avoid harsh detergents that can dry out the natural material.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Weather Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water-repellent spray to protect the upper from minor moisture during light rain.
