FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers and do not contain the technical cushioning or stability features required for running.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended to avoid the washing machine, as it can damage the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe.

What materials are used in the upper?

The SL 72 RS line typically features a blend of nylon and suede-like overlays for durability and style.

How does the sizing run?

The sizing is standard for adidas adult footwear; however, fit can vary slightly depending on individual foot width.

How do I remove stubborn stains?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic and suede materials, applied gently with a soft-bristled brush.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty keeping the trainers clean

Apply a water and stain repellent spray compatible with the shoe material before the first wear.

Uncomfortable fit after long periods

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly across the bridge of the foot, or consider an aftermarket insole for extra arch support.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight construction for comfortable daily walking
  • Classic heritage look that remains trendy
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last as long as possible, avoid machine washing. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. In terms of compatibility, the UK size 7 fit is standard; if you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the specific socks you intend to wear daily to ensure the best fit.
