FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they provide excellent cushioning, they are best suited for light training, walking, and daily wear rather than marathon-distance running.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is recommended to compare with your existing Nike footwear for the most accurate fit.
Can I use custom orthotics with this shoe?
The Skylon 11 features a removable insole, making it compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics.
How do I maintain the white colourway?
Regular spot cleaning with a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush will help prevent long-term staining.
What is the primary benefit of the exposed pods?
The exposed pods increase the flexibility of the sole, allowing for a smoother heel-to-toe transition.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Ensure you are using a double knot or a runner's loop to secure the tension.
Dirt buildup in mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the mesh pores.
Midsole feeling stiff initially
The foam often requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for short intervals to allow the cushioning to adapt to your stride.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of underfoot cushioning
- Breathable construction for comfort
- Versatile style suitable for casual use and light activity
- Flexible sole design aids natural gait
Cons
- Chunky profile may feel bulky to some runners
- Retro design might lack the advanced technical support of modern elite racing shoes
- Requires manual lace adjustment for optimal fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by fully loosening the laces before your first wear to properly adjust the tension across the midfoot. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the mesh upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to maintain the integrity of the material. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the midsole foam from degrading or warping. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
