FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 has roots in running shoe design, these specific models with rhinestone embellishments are best suited for casual wear and light activity, not for intense athletic training.
How do I clean the sparkly rhinestones?
Gently brush the rhinestones with a soft, dry brush to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which could damage them.
What is the best way to care for the leather and suede materials?
Use a soft brush for suede and a damp cloth for leather. Consider using specific leather and suede care products for protection and cleaning.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather, suede, and embellishments.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear them with no-show socks, ankle socks, or crew socks depending on your preference and outfit. Thin to medium thickness socks are generally recommended for comfort.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Rhinestones appear loose
Avoid excessive pressure or friction on the embellished areas. If a rhinestone has fallen off, professional repair or careful reattachment might be possible.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and a leather cleaner for scuffs. Follow product instructions carefully.
Sole is dirty
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the sole. Ensure all soap residue is removed and dry thoroughly.
