FAQs
Are these sneakers waterproof?
The Nike Manoa Leather 'Haystack' features a leather upper, which offers good natural water resistance against light splashes or dew. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion or heavy rain without additional waterproofing treatment.
How do I choose the correct size?
These sneakers are listed in UK men's sizing. We recommend choosing your standard Nike shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can these be used for serious hiking?
The Nike Manoa Leather 'Haystack' is suitable for light to moderate trails and outdoor activities where good traction and durability are beneficial. For heavy-duty hiking, mountaineering, or technical terrain, specialized hiking boots may offer more specific support and protection.
What is the 'Haystack' color?
The 'Haystack' color refers to the specific shade of tan leather used for the upper of this model. It's a warm, earthy brown hue that complements its rugged outdoor aesthetic.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth after outdoor use is recommended. For conditioning, every 2-3 months, or more frequently if worn often in dry or harsh conditions, will help maintain the leather's quality and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on soles
Thoroughly clean the rubber soles with a stiff brush and soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Inspect for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, the grip will naturally diminish.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Clean the leather surface first, then apply a quality leather conditioner or protective balm. Gently rub it in with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb fully. Regular conditioning prevents drying and cracking.
Slight discomfort during prolonged wear
Ensure your laces are properly adjusted – not too tight, not too loose. Allow for a break-in period as new leather shoes can initially be stiff. Consider wearing appropriate socks for cushioning and moisture wicking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
There's no complex setup required. Simply unbox, lace up, and adjust the fit to your comfort. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement and prevent pressure points.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Nike Manoa Leather 'Haystack' sneakers remain in excellent condition and perform optimally, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain its water resistance.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and warm, soapy water to clean the rubber sole, removing any lodged dirt, mud, or debris to maintain optimal grip.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the leather and rubber materials.
