FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on athletic heritage, the SL 72 RS is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear, not for high-impact running.
How do I ensure the correct size?
This model follows standard adult UK sizing; however, given the leather construction and slim profile, if you prefer extra room, consider trying them on with your preferred daily socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives in the sole. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, and the outsole is made from durable rubber.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather provides some water resistance against light splashes, but they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially
Leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods at home to break them in.
Outer sole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the soles with a soft brush and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can impede the grip pattern.
Surface scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser for light marks to restore the finish.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 RS trainers stay in top condition:
- Fit: Since these feature a leather upper, ensure you select your correct size to prevent discomfort as the material conforms to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Maintenance: Use a leather-safe conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from drying or cracking.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather and rubber.
