FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas Originals SL 72 OG Trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not optimized for running or high-impact athletic activities and may lack the necessary support and cushioning.

How do I clean the shoes?

Clean the trainers with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

What material is the upper made of?

The product description indicates that some variants feature leather, while others may use polyester or nylon. Specific material composition can vary by colorway and release.

Do these trainers offer good ankle support?

The SL 72 OG features a padded cuff for comfort, but they are a low-profile trainer and do not offer significant ankle support beyond what is typical for this style.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole provides grip, the materials used in the upper may not be waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, which enhances comfort during everyday wear and walking.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if breaking them in might help with a snug fit.

Slight discomfort in the arch

These trainers offer minimal arch support. For extended wear or if you require more support, consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotics.

Traction seems reduced

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. Clean with a damp cloth.
