FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of woven textile and suede overlays.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized for running and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush or eraser for light cleaning. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What does the SL 72 RS stand for?
SL typically refers to 'Sport Leisure', indicating a blend of athletic and casual design. RS likely denotes a specific iteration or update to the original SL 72 model.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and textile upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the primary benefit of the foam midsole?
The lightweight foam midsole provides cushioning, enhancing comfort for extended periods of wear throughout the day.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
The trainers feature a tonal lace fastening system that allows you to adjust the fit for a snug and secure feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush with a suede brush or use a suede eraser. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and not overly worn. Try a double knot for extra security.
Unusual odor inside the shoe
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Traction feels reduced
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and clean it with a damp cloth. The traction may naturally decrease with significant wear over time.
