FAQs
Are the SL 72 OG shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the slim profile provides a snugger feel than modern performance trainers.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, washing machine cycles will damage the suede material. Stick to gentle manual cleaning with appropriate brushes.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they were originally designed as running shoes in the 70s, they are now intended for casual, everyday lifestyle wear.
What is the primary material used?
This specific variant features a suede upper with a durable rubber outsole.
Does the white accenting stain easily?
Like any white detailing on a shoe, it may collect dirt; regular maintenance with a soft cloth will keep the white accents bright.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on suede surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris.
Suede appears matted or flat
Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift the nap back into position.
Slight discomfort during long walks
Consider adding a slim, aftermarket supportive insole if you require more arch reinforcement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these trainers feature a suede exterior, avoid submerging them in water or wearing them in heavy rain to prevent material discoloration and texture damage. To keep your pair looking fresh, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If you encounter minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser. To ensure compatibility, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the black colour intensity. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing socks that complement the 4.5 UK size, as the slim design fits true to size.
