Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can handle hard surfaces, they are specifically engineered for trail and off-road terrain. The aggressive tread will wear down faster if used primarily on asphalt.
How do I keep the GORE-TEX material working effectively?
Keep the shoes clean. Dried mud and dirt can clog the pores of the GORE-TEX membrane, preventing it from breathing correctly.
Should I size up for hiking?
The Zegama already features a roomier toe box. It is recommended to choose your standard size unless you prefer extra room for heavy-duty wool socks.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They provide excellent water protection, but note that the shoes are not insulated. In freezing conditions, wear appropriate thermal socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the trail-specific materials. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Check if water is entering from the ankle collar; ensure pants are properly layered over the top of the shoe to prevent runoff from leaking in.
Heel slippage
Adjust your lacing pattern using the top eyelet (runner's loop) to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike ACG Zegama shoes, keep them free of heavy mud buildup by rinsing them with cool water and a soft-bristled brush after intense trail sessions. Air dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane or warp the midsole foam. Use high-quality hiking socks to complement the shoe’s internal cushioning for the best fit. Always check the laces for wear before starting a long expedition, and replace them if you notice fraying to ensure a secure lockdown.
