Getting started with your SL 72 OG Trainers is straightforward:
Lace Up: Simply use the traditional lace closure to adjust the fit to your comfort.
Ensure Snug Fit: Make sure laces are tied securely to prevent slipping while walking.
These trainers are designed for adults, specifically marketed under the 'Female' gender classification, though their classic design often appeals universally. They feature a regular fit and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and shorts to tracksuits.
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the nylon and suede sections, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials. For stubborn suede marks, a specialized suede brush or eraser can be used.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the structure and materials of the shoe.
