Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals SL 72 RS is a refined, low-profile trainer designed for adults who value heritage-inspired footwear and daily comfort. Combining a sleek leather construction with iconic branding, it serves as an excellent choice for casual wear and urban commuting; however, users should note that as a classic flat-sole trainer, it does not offer the intensive arch support found in modern high-performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a running silhouette, the SL 72 RS is designed as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the modern cushioning technology required for serious or long-distance running.
How should I clean the leather material?
Gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a leather-specific cleaning solution applied to a soft brush.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Do they run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The factory insoles are typically removable if you wish to swap them for your own orthopedic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape of the toe box and reduce deep creases.
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the white details
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush for the white sections to avoid transferring dirt.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Classic retro design fits a variety of casual outfits
- Durable leather upper material
- Low-profile aesthetic for a sleek look
- Reliable traction from the rubber outsole
Cons
- Limited arch support compared to athletic performance shoes
- Flat-sole design may feel less cushioned during long periods of walking
- Leather requires regular maintenance to stay in pristine condition
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you use the lace-up closure to tighten the shoe across the midfoot. These trainers are standard adult sizes; if you intend to wear thick athletic socks, you may want to consider your standard sizing. To care for your leather SL 72 RS trainers, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, as water immersion can damage the leather finish. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
