Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather and Shox cushioning may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size.
Leather creasing excessively.
This is normal for leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly to minimize unnatural creasing. Use shoe trees for storage and consider a leather conditioner.
Dirt accumulation on the Shox columns.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the Shox columns. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear.
Compatibility: The Nike Shox R4 Qs are designed as casual footwear for adult males. They pair well with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, shorts, and athletic-inspired outfits.
Care: To maintain the quality of the leather and the integrity of the Shox technology:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
