FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the Nike Air Max Waffle Trainers is primarily made of durable nylon, complemented by a suede mudguard.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed more for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, offering comfort and style for everyday activities. While they incorporate cushioning technology, they are not optimized for high-performance running; specialized running shoes would be more appropriate for that activity.
How do I clean the suede part of the shoe?
To clean the suede mudguard, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh soaps directly on the suede.
What is the Waffle Outsole?
The Waffle Outsole is an iconic Nike innovation that provides enhanced traction and durability. It features a distinct studded pattern, inspired by a waffle iron, designed to grip various surfaces effectively.
What does 'Air Max' technology do?
Air Max technology involves incorporating durable, flexible airbags within the midsole of the shoe. These Air units provide superior cushioning and impact absorption, delivering a comfortable and responsive feel with every step.
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to refer to Nike's official sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit. The listed size for this specific variant is UK 7.5.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Wear them for short periods to break them in, as materials may soften over time. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or consider if the size is appropriate for your foot type.
Suede mudguard appears dirty or discolored.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid water or harsh chemicals, which can damage suede.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole. If it persists, moisture inside the shoe might be the cause; ensure they are thoroughly dry. If the squeak is from the outsole, it might indicate wear or material interaction with the surface.
Lack of traction on wet surfaces.
While the Waffle outsole provides good general traction, no shoe offers perfect grip on all wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution when walking on wet or icy conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that could reduce grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Nike Air Max Waffle Trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: For the nylon upper, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For the suede mudguard, use a soft brush designed for suede to remove loose dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing on suede.
- Stain Removal: For tough stains on the nylon, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials, especially suede, and alter the shoe's shape.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives, particularly the suede and Air Max unit.
