FAQs
Are the Nike SB Vertebrae true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is recommended to reference your standard Nike sizing.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, these are designed primarily as trainers/lifestyle shoes and are not specifically engineered for long-distance running.
How do I clean the black fabric?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth for surface stains.
Is the heel cushioning adequate for all-day wear?
The flat heel design focuses on stability and ground feel, which many users find supportive for extended daily activity.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the materials are durable, they are not explicitly waterproof, so it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the quality of the upper.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during the first wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for a few days to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all available eyelets to maximize the security of the lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike SB Vertebrae sneakers last, start by lacing them comfortably—avoid overtightening the laces during the first few wears to allow the material to flex naturally with your foot. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic or casual socks. For maintenance, keep the black exterior looking sharp by wiping off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
