FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for hiking, their comfort and style make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in unpredictable weather conditions.
How do I clean the "College Grey" and "Barely Volt" colorway?
Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Always allow to air dry.
Will my feet stay cool in warm weather?
The GORE-TEX technology offers breathability, which helps regulate temperature. However, they are designed for outdoor performance and may feel warmer than lighter, non-waterproof shoes in extreme heat.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX material?
The primary advantage is its waterproof yet breathable nature, which keeps your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
How does the traction perform on wet surfaces?
The shoes are engineered with a robust outsole designed to provide reliable traction on a variety of surfaces, including wet and slippery conditions.
What size should I choose if I'm a UK 11.5?
This guide is for the Nike ACG Mountain Fly Low Gore-Tex SE in UK size 11.5. Please refer to Nike's official sizing chart for exact conversions if needed, as fit can be personal.
Can these shoes be used for running?
They are suitable for trail running due to their cushioning and traction, but they are primarily designed as hiking shoes and may be heavier than dedicated running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure all laces are tightened properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. If the shoes are new, ensure the internal sock liner is correctly positioned.
Traction is poor on a specific surface
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Ensure the surface itself is not unusually slick (e.g., polished wet stone).
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters
Allow for a break-in period by wearing the shoes for shorter durations initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check that the lacing is not too tight or too loose, adjusting as needed for a secure but comfortable fit.
Difficulty putting on or taking off
Loosen the laces significantly before attempting to put on or remove the shoe. The robust design may require a slightly different technique than conventional footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike ACG Mountain Fly Low Gore-Tex SE comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the fit is comfortable before embarking on long journeys. Consider wearing them for shorter walks initially to allow your feet to adjust to the shoe's structure.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult males and are ideal for hiking, trail running, and outdoor exploration. They are compatible with various outdoor clothing and gear.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically inspect the GORE-TEX membrane and any water-repellent coatings. Follow manufacturer recommendations for re-applying waterproofing treatments if needed, typically after significant wear or cleaning.
