FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While rooted in track history, the '26 model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the white sections?
Use a gentle shoe cleaner or a mix of mild soap and water with a soft cloth to spot clean the white areas.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, these are generally true to size. If you prefer a looser fit, you may consider a half size up.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed with durable nylon, providing a lightweight feel and classic look.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly for better tension.
Outsole collecting dirt and debris
Use a toothpick or the edge of a soft brush to dislodge particles stuck in the waffle-pattern grooves.
Shoes feeling too snug
Loosen the laces starting from the toe box working upward to increase volume in the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Waffle Racer '26 trainers last, adjust the laces until they comfortably sit against the foot without cutting off circulation. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole tread. For the nylon and upper materials, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the White and Green colourway.
