FAQs

Does the Nike React Element 87 run large or small?

This model is designed to fit true to size. If you are a UK 8 in other Nike models, you should select a UK 8.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature React cushioning, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated performance running shoes.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth for light debris and a dedicated leather cleaner for more significant marks, avoiding submerging the shoe in water.

What is the primary benefit of React technology?

React technology provides a balance of softness, responsiveness, and energy return, making it ideal for daily comfort.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather offers some protection against light splashes, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Slight tightness in the toe box

Ensure you are wearing thin, moisture-wicking socks to allow for better internal volume.

Surface scuffing on leather

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or buff lightly with a soft brush to restore the finish.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Loosen the lacing system completely from the bottom eyelets to provide more room for entry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior underfoot cushioning from React foam
  • Versatile Desert Sand colour scheme
  • Durable, high-quality leather material
  • Consistent and reliable sizing

Cons

  • Leather requires more specific cleaning than synthetic mesh
  • Limited to casual rather than performance athletic use
  • Desert Sand tone may show dirt more easily than darker colours

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes fit true to size, you should select your standard UK 8 size without needing adjustments. To ensure the longevity of the leather: 1. Wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. 2. Use a leather-safe cleaner for deeper stains, ensuring you test a small, inconspicuous area first. 3. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight or moisture, which can cause the leather to fade or crack. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
