FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and flexibility, they do not provide the specialized support and structure required for serious running.
How do I clean the Crater foam midsole?
The Crater foam midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
What does 'Crater Flyknit' mean?
'Crater' refers to the midsole made with recycled materials, creating a speckled appearance. 'Flyknit' refers to the lightweight, woven upper made from recycled polyester yarn.
How sustainable are these shoes?
These shoes emphasize sustainability by using recycled polyester for the Flyknit upper and incorporating recycled materials into the Crater foam midsole and Grind Rubber outsole.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to put these shoes in the washing machine, as it can damage the Flyknit material, the midsole, and the adhesives. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, Nike Air Force 1 models run true to size for most people. However, the Flyknit upper offers a flexible fit, so some users may prefer to size up or down slightly depending on their foot shape and desired snugness.
Troubleshooting
Flyknit upper feels too tight
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a few hours to allow the Flyknit to stretch slightly. You can also try using a shoe stretcher designed for knit materials.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the waffle-patterned outsole is clean and free of debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider the limitations of any sneaker's traction.
Discoloration on white accents
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner for white materials might be necessary, used with caution on the Flyknit.
