FAQs
Are the Nike Manoa Leather 'Haystack' shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water protection, we recommend applying a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
How do I clean the 'Haystack' tan leather?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Can I wear these for long hikes?
Yes, with their superior grip, cushioning, and durable construction, the Nike Manoa Leather is well-suited for moderate hikes and extended walks on varied terrains. Ensure a proper fit to maximize comfort over long distances.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Nike footwear generally runs true to size. However, for outdoor shoes where thicker socks might be worn, some users prefer to go up a half-size for extra comfort. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What kind of terrains are these shoes best for?
These shoes are designed to tackle 'any terrain,' making them versatile for dirt trails, gravel paths, urban sidewalks, and light muddy conditions. The rugged rubber sole provides excellent traction across these diverse surfaces.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general rule, conditioning the leather every 2-3 months, or when it starts to look dry or dull, will help maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or has minor scuffs.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or protector. For scuffs, a leather balm designed for scuff repair can be used.
Shoes feel too tight after initial wear.
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods around the house with thick socks to help break them in. If still uncomfortable, review sizing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber soles are clean of mud, debris, or oils. If the tread is excessively worn, the grip will diminish, indicating it might be time for replacement.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Replace insoles if odor persists.
Water spots appear on the leather after getting wet.
Gently wipe the entire shoe with a damp cloth to even out the moisture, then allow to air dry naturally. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore the finish.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months, or more frequently depending on use, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner's instructions carefully.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a stiff brush and mild soap and water to remove embedded dirt and maintain optimal grip.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
