FAQs

What is Shox cushioning?

Shox cushioning is a Nike technology that uses columns of foam or plastic under the heel to provide responsive cushioning and impact absorption, giving a distinct feel and look.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer cushioning, the Nike Shox Ride 2 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather parts of the trainers?

Use a leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the leather overlays. Condition the leather periodically to maintain its suppleness.

What does 'Max Air' mean?

Max Air refers to Nike's air cushioning technology. A pressurized air unit is enclosed within a durable casing in the sole to provide lightweight, responsive cushioning.

How do I care for the mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid excessive scrubbing to prevent damage.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Shox Ride 2 Trainers, as this can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning system. Hand wash and air dry only.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and care. With proper care and for casual use, they can last for a considerable time, but performance cushioning may diminish over extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the tongue is centered and try different lacing patterns for a more personalized fit. Consider the sock thickness.

Discomfort in the heel area.

The Shox system has a distinct feel. Try wearing them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure you have the correct size and width.

Mesh material appears dirty.

Use a soft brush or toothbrush with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Wipe away residue with a clean, damp cloth.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness.

Over time, cushioning can degrade. Ensure the shoes have not been subjected to excessive wear or extreme conditions. For best results, use them for their intended purpose.
