FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

The Adidas SL 72 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational activities. While comfortable, they are not engineered for high-performance running or rigorous athletic training.

How do I best clean the brown nylon upper of these trainers?

To clean the nylon upper, gently wipe it with a cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and cool water. Afterwards, wipe clean with a cloth dampened with plain water, and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Adidas SL 72 trainers generally run true to size. However, foot shapes can vary, so for the best fit, we recommend trying them on or consulting the official Adidas sizing chart if you are unsure.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the nylon upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve their condition and comfort.

What is the lightweight EVA midsole made of?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It is a soft, flexible, and lightweight material commonly used in shoe midsoles for its excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and comfort properties.

Is the rubber outsole non-marking?

Yes, the rubber outsoles on Adidas SL 72 trainers are typically designed to be non-marking, meaning they should not leave scuff marks on indoor surfaces.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have the correct size for your foot length and width. Adjust laces for a custom fit. If issues persist, consider trying a half size up or down.

The white midsole is getting dirty easily.

Clean regularly with mild soap and water, or a specialized shoe cleaner designed for EVA foam. A magic eraser can also be effective for stubborn marks on the midsole.

My trainers make a squeaking sound when I walk.

Check for trapped debris in the outsole grooves. If the squeak originates from inside the shoe, try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction.

The nylon upper looks dull or has minor stains.

Follow the cleaning instructions for nylon: gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For more persistent dirt, a soft-bristled brush can be carefully used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: Designed for long-lasting comfort, suitable for all-day wear.
  • Durable Construction: The premium nylon upper ensures the trainers withstand regular use.
  • Classic & Versatile Style: Their timeless design and brown colour make them easy to pair with many outfits.
  • Reliable Traction: The rubber outsole provides dependable grip on most surfaces.
  • Lightweight Cushioning: EVA midsole offers significant comfort without adding bulk.

Cons

  • Nylon Specific Care: Requires gentle cleaning methods to maintain the integrity of the nylon material.
  • Limited Breathability: While comfortable, nylon may offer less airflow compared to mesh in very hot conditions.
  • Not Weatherproof: Not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions, which could affect material integrity and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your Adidas SL 72 Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them, slip them on, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit.

Sizing and Compatibility

This specific model is sized as a UK 5.5 for adults. Adidas sizing can vary slightly, so it's always recommended to try on the trainers to ensure the best fit. They are designed for general adult wear.

Care and Maintenance for Nylon Trainers

To ensure your SL 72 trainers maintain their appearance and durability, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Nylon Upper:
  • Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with cool water.
  • Dampen a clean cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the nylon upper. Do not oversaturate the material.
  • Use a separate cloth dampened with plain water to wipe off any soap residue.
  1. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole:
  • Use a brush or old toothbrush with soapy water to scrub dirt from the EVA midsole and rubber outsole.
  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  1. Drying:
  • Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources.
  • You can stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  1. Storage:
  • Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
  1. Avoid:
  • Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water or damp conditions.
