FAQs

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort for walking but are not intended for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I clean the leather material?

Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?

Cold Cement construction refers to a method of attaching the sole to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures, which is common for casual footwear and contributes to flexibility and durability.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, washing machines are not recommended for these trainers as they can damage the leather, midsole, and overall construction.

What is the fit like?

These trainers generally follow standard sizing for women's footwear. It's recommended to consult the size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

What is the main inspiration for this shoe?

The SL 72 OG is inspired by adidas' heritage athletic footwear from the 1970s, with this specific 'Og W' variant featuring a Valentine's Day-themed design.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Discoloration of light-colored leather

Protect from excessive sun exposure and abrasive surfaces. Clean gently with a recommended leather cleaner. Consider using a leather protector spray for added defense.

Stiff initial feel

New leather shoes can feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in gradually. The material will soften with wear.
