FAQs

Are these Nike Dunk Lows completely waterproof?

Yes, thanks to the GORE-TEX leather upper, these Nike Dunk Lows offer reliable waterproofing, keeping your feet dry in rainy or damp conditions. While the upper is waterproof, water can still enter through the top opening if fully submerged.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX leather material?

Clean surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cleaner specifically designed for GORE-TEX leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or washing machines, and always air dry them away from direct heat.

Can I wear these shoes for sports activities?

These Nike Dunk Lows are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering good grip for everyday use and light court activities. They are not intended for high-performance sports, where specialized athletic footwear would be more appropriate.

Do Nike Dunk Lows run true to size?

Generally, Nike Dunk Lows are considered to fit true to size for most people. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's usually recommended to purchase your standard UK shoe size.

What is GORE-TEX?

GORE-TEX is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric membrane. In these shoes, it's integrated into the leather upper to provide a protective barrier against the elements while allowing moisture vapor from your feet to escape, enhancing comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?

Yes, their GORE-TEX protection makes them suitable for wet conditions in spring, autumn, and winter. The breathability also makes them comfortable in milder summer weather, making them a versatile, year-round option.

Troubleshooting

Water spots or stains on the leather.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth immediately. For dried stains, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for GORE-TEX materials, following its instructions carefully.

Creasing on the leather upper.

Creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing the shoes. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear. Some light creasing can be reduced with a gentle leather conditioner.

Reduced water repellency over time.

After extended use, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and then apply a GORE-TEX-safe re-proofing spray or treatment. This revitalizes the water-repellent properties.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon receiving your Nike Dunk Lows, adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing styles if desired.
  2. First Wear: It's recommended to wear them indoors for a short period to allow the leather to begin molding to your feet and identify any initial pressure points.

Compatibility

These Nike Dunk Lows are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear attire:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, cargo pants, chinos, and joggers.
  • Athleisure: Combine with tracksuits or hoodies for a relaxed, sporty aesthetic.
  • Seasonal: Suitable for all seasons, offering protection in wetter conditions and breathability in milder ones. Their colorway provides versatile styling options.

Product Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the GORE-TEX functionality and the premium appearance of your leather sneakers.

  1. Cleaning:
  • Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  • For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for GORE-TEX materials. Apply gently with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions.
  • Clean the sole with a brush and mild soap solution.
  1. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather and GORE-TEX membrane.
  2. Protection: Consider applying a GORE-TEX-safe leather conditioner or protector spray periodically. This helps maintain the leather's suppleness and enhances water repellency.
  3. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners, or washing machines, as these can strip the leather's natural oils and compromise the GORE-TEX membrane.
