FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the SL 72 OG model typically fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear; they do not contain the technical cushioning needed for long-distance running.
How do I clean the grey upper?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains, ensuring you let them air dry away from heat sources.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
What materials are used in the construction?
The SL 72 OG series often features a combination of synthetic materials, nylon, and rubber for the outsole, offering a balance of durability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt buildup in the tread
Use a specialized rubber-soled brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge small pebbles or debris from the sole grooves.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double knot if they frequently loosen during long walks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. For daily care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and loose debris from the upper. If the trainers become soiled, spot clean them using a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or pigments. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Since these are true-to-size, you should opt for your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.
