FAQs

The SL 72 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light walking. They offer cushioning but may not provide the specialized support and features required for high-impact running activities.

How do I clean the diamante embellishments?

Gently wipe the embellishments with a dry or very slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather, offering a classic look and feel.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

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

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, these trainers should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done manually with a damp cloth and appropriate care products for leather.

What is the main distinguishing feature of this specific SL 72 model?

This particular model stands out with its diamante embellishment, adding a unique decorative element to the classic SL 72 design.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure laces are properly tied for a secure yet not overly tight fit. Consider wearing thicker socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.

Dirt or scuff marks on leather

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For tougher scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.

Loose diamante embellishments

If a diamante appears loose, avoid wearing the shoes until it can be re-secured. A strong adhesive suitable for jewelry or fabric may be used to reattach it, applying it carefully to the base of the stone.

Slippery sole on wet surfaces

While the sole offers textured grip, all trainers can be less effective on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution when walking in wet conditions.
