FAQs
Are the adidas SL 72 trainers true to size?
Generally, adidas SL 72 trainers are reported to fit true to size for a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or consulting a size guide.
Can I use these shoes for running or sports?
The adidas SL 72 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While comfortable for everyday walking and light activity due to its EVA midsole, it is not built for high-performance running or specialized sports that require specific athletic support or advanced cushioning.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The adidas SL 72 features a mixed-material upper, commonly including nylon, suede, and leather. The exact composition can vary depending on the specific variant and colorway. Please refer to the product description for your specific pair.
How do I clean my SL 72 trainers?
Cleaning depends on the upper material. For nylon, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do they offer good arch support?
The SL 72 trainers feature an EVA midsole for general cushioning and comfort. For individuals requiring specific or advanced arch support, custom insoles may be considered, but the shoe provides standard comfort for casual wear.
Are the SL 72 trainers suitable for winter or wet weather?
While durable, the mixed material upper, especially suede, is not inherently waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain or snow, we recommend footwear specifically designed for those elements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or wear them for short periods to allow for break-in.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly dusting with cornstarch or baby powder before reinserting.
Upper material appears dirty or discolored
Clean the affected areas according to the material-specific care instructions (nylon, suede, or leather). Regular cleaning after wear can prevent dirt buildup.
Outsoles are losing grip
Inspect the rubber outsole for wear and tear. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the trainers. Ensure the outsoles are clean of debris or mud.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Timeless Style: Classic 70s athletic design that remains relevant and fashionable today.
- Everyday Comfort: EVA midsole provides ample cushioning for long periods of wear.
- Versatile Wear: Easily pairs with a wide range of casual outfits and is suitable for daily activities.
- Durable Construction: Combination of robust upper materials and a solid rubber outsole ensures longevity.
- Brand Heritage: A piece of adidas history, appealing to collectors and fans of classic sportswear.
Cons
- Not Performance Footwear: While comfortable, not designed for high-intensity sports or specialized athletic training.
- Material-Specific Care: Upper materials (nylon, suede, leather) require different cleaning and care methods, which can be less straightforward than single-material shoes.
- Limited All-Weather Suitability: Depending on the material, they may offer limited protection in heavy rain or extreme conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your adidas SL 72 trainers is straightforward. Simply loosen the lace closure, slide your foot in, and tighten the laces for a regular fit. Ensure the Ecotex textured tongue is comfortably positioned on the top of your foot. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, yet comfortable, feel that supports your foot without restricting movement.
Compatibility
The adidas SL 72 is designed for casual everyday wear. It pairs seamlessly with a wide range of clothing, including denim, chinos, track pants, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses. Its classic silhouette makes it a versatile choice for street style, leisure activities, and informal social occasions. While its roots are in athletics, it's best suited for lifestyle and fashion purposes rather than performance sports.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 trainers. The cleaning method will depend on the specific material of your shoe's upper (nylon, suede, or leather).
- General Care: Regularly wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Nylon Sections: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry.
- Suede Sections: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, applying sparingly and carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Leather Sections: Wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner. Condition periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
