FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for outdoor performance. For purely casual wear, you might find other Nike models more suited, but they can certainly be worn for daily activities where durability and water resistance are beneficial.
How do I ensure the waterproofness of the GORE-TEX upper lasts?
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water and allowing them to air dry is crucial. Avoid using harsh detergents or heat, as these can compromise the GORE-TEX membrane's integrity.
What is the React midsole designed to do?
The React midsole provides a soft, lightweight, and responsive cushioning experience, helping to absorb impact and return energy with each step for enhanced comfort during extended wear.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane, potentially affecting the shoe's performance and longevity.
What does 'ACG' stand for?
ACG stands for All Conditions Gear, Nike's sub-brand focused on apparel and footwear designed for outdoor use and exploration in various weather conditions.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor or material degradation.
What is the benefit of the sticky rubber outsole?
The sticky rubber outsole is engineered to provide exceptional grip and traction on a wide range of surfaces, including wet rocks, mud, and loose gravel, enhancing stability and preventing slips.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoes
Ensure GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Clean the exterior thoroughly and check for any damage to seams or the upper. Reapply appropriate waterproofing treatments if necessary, following product instructions.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the sticky rubber outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check sock thickness and material.
Reflective elements losing reflectivity
Avoid harsh cleaning methods or prolonged exposure to abrasive materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, primarily for outdoor athletic activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the GORE-TEX upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean the React midsole and rubber outsole. Ensure all dirt is removed from the grooves of the outsole for optimal grip.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Laces: Remove laces for cleaning and re-thread them after the shoes are dry. Reflective laces should be handled gently to preserve their reflective properties.
