FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all weather conditions?
No, due to the velvet material, these sneakers are best suited for dry weather. They are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions, which can damage the velvet.
How do I determine my correct size?
These sneakers are UK size 5. Nike typically runs true to size, but we recommend trying them on or consulting Nike's official size guide if you're unsure of your UK sizing.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for velvet sneakers. It can damage the material and construction. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.
What is the best way to store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect the velvet from dust and potential crushing of the nap.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While inspired by athletic heritage, the Nike Field General Sneakers with a velvet upper are designed for casual wear and style, not for performance running or intense sports activities.
Is the 'durable Velvet upper' really durable?
Yes, 'durable velvet' implies it's made to withstand typical casual wear better than very delicate velvets. However, all velvet requires careful handling compared to materials like leather or canvas to maintain its aesthetic condition.
Troubleshooting
Velvet looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush (e.g., a suede brush) in the direction of the nap to restore its texture and shine.
Visible dirt or light stains on the velvet.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to blot the stained area. For tougher spots, a very small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be applied gently, then blotted clean. Always let it air dry completely.
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot shape. Wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside, and then reinserting the insole.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. Replacing the laces with a different material (e.g., cotton) can sometimes help improve grip.

Care Instructions
Given the delicate nature of velvet, proper care is crucial to maintain the look and longevity of your sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust using a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) in the direction of the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks or stains, lightly dab the affected area with a clean, damp (not wet) cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Protection: Consider using a velvet or fabric protector spray designed for footwear to help repel water and stains. Always test any product on a small, hidden area first.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect the velvet from dust and pressure that could crush the nap.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep velvet away from excessive moisture, as water can mark or damage the material. If they get wet, gently blot excess water and allow them to air dry completely.
