FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Nike Field General trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort and some traction, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
It is recommended to check Nike's official size guide for the most accurate measurements. Many users find these trainers run slightly small, so consider trying them on or ordering half a size up if unsure.
What materials are used in the Nike Field General?
The specific materials can vary by colorway, but typically include a combination of synthetic materials, leather, and rubber for the sole. Some versions may incorporate suede or textile elements.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and soft brush is the preferred method.
What is the origin of the 'Field General' name?
The 'Field General' series is inspired by Nike's heritage in athletic footwear, specifically drawing design cues from classic American football shoes.
How do I clean the Gum Yellow sole?
The Gum Yellow sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. If the tightness is significant, consider if a size up might be more appropriate.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or the tongue and the laces. Try adjusting the lacing, ensuring the tongue is centered, or place a powder insert inside the shoe.
Discoloration on white/light areas
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully on rubber or midsole parts, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Waffle sole losing grip
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. The textured pattern provides grip, so accumulated dirt can reduce its effectiveness. Clean grooves with a brush.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Field General trainers:

- Soles: The waffle sole can be cleaned with a brush to remove dirt and debris trapped in the grooves.
