FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The SL 72 RS has a slim, low-profile silhouette; users with very wide feet may find them snug and might consider sizing up if available.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
They are suitable for light weightlifting or walking on a treadmill, but they lack the heavy-duty stability and cushioning required for high-impact training.
How do I maintain the leather?
Regularly use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, and wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
Is the sizing true to size?
The trainers generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can influence the specific feel.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable leather, complemented by a rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming loose during wear
Use a double-knot technique or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly for better tension distribution.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a medium-bristle brush to dislodge debris from the rubber outsole channels after walking on gravel or uneven surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care guidelines: keep the leather clean by wiping away dust with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft brush or cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
