Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your SL 72 Trainers, given their nylon and suede components.
General Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, gently brush the entire shoe with a soft-bristled shoe brush. For the nylon areas, you can use a damp cloth with mild soap.
Suede Care:
Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water, which can stain and stiffen it. Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Spot Cleaning: For suede stains, use a dedicated suede brush or a suede eraser. Gently rub the affected area.
Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to repel water and stains.
Drying: If they get wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
