FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are lifestyle trainers based on a vintage running silhouette and are best suited for casual walking rather than modern athletic running.

What materials are used in the Moon Shoe?

They feature a nylon upper with leather overlays and a durable rubber Waffle sole.

How do I determine my size?

The Nike Moon Shoe follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, but consider using thin-to-medium socks for the best fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather overlays and weaken the adhesives used to secure the Waffle sole.

Where does the design inspiration come from?

The design is inspired by the very first Nike running shoes, originally created by Bill Bowerman using a waffle iron to craft the outsole.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on nylon fabric

Use a gentle soap solution and a soft cloth to spot clean, then allow to air dry completely.

Sole grip losing traction

Clean the Waffle sole treads with a stiff brush to remove embedded debris that may cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, consider the following care tips:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the nylon and rubber components. For leather overlays, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading or the material from becoming brittle.
  3. Compatibility: These shoes are available in various adult sizes and generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are built on a classic last, you may want to try them with your preferred socks to ensure the best fit.
  4. Maintenance: Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this may affect the integrity of the leather and adhesives.
