FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas SL72 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer support for walking, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary cushioning or stability for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the vibrant Solar Red and Ice Lavender colours?

For best results, spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the colour. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the typical fit of the SL72 trainers?

The SL72 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, due to variations in foot shape, it's always recommended to refer to the size guide and, if possible, try them on before purchasing.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.

What other colour options are available for the SL72 series?

The SL72 series comes in a variety of colourways, including green, black, pink, and beige options, often with different material finishes like leather or polyester, catering to diverse style preferences.

What makes the SL72 an iconic trainer?

The SL72 is iconic due to its pioneering role as adidas's first lightweight EVA-soled shoe, launched in 1972 for the Munich Olympics. Its distinctive silhouette and enduring style have made it a lasting favourite.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit upon first wear

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to naturally mold to your feet over a few wears. Avoid wearing thick socks during the break-in period.

Discoloration on the upper material

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the cloth and wipe again with clean water. Allow to air dry.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's removable, or at the junction where the sole meets the upper. Ensure the laces are not too tight.
