FAQs
Are Nike Waffle Racers suitable for running?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult Nike footwear.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and materials. Stick to manual cleaning with a cloth or soft brush.
What materials are used in the construction?
The shoes feature high-quality leather and durable textile uppers with a robust rubber waffle-textured outsole.
Are these shoes unisex?
The series includes both specific male fits and unisex models. Always check the specific MPN or size details provided.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight across the instep
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and re-thread them to provide more volume in the midfoot.
Debris stuck in the waffle outsole
Use a toothpick or a dedicated shoe cleaning brush to gently dislodge pebbles or dirt from the recessed waffle pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Waffle Racers in top condition, start by ensuring you have selected your correct UK size for a proper fit. Since these trainers feature leather components in many variants, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For the rubber outsoles, a quick scrub with mild soapy water will clear any debris trapped in the waffle texture. Always air-dry your shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking or warping.
