FAQs

Are these Nike Dunk Lows truly waterproof?

Yes, thanks to the integrated GORE-TEX membrane, these Nike Dunk Lows are designed to be waterproof, keeping your feet dry in wet weather conditions while still allowing them to breathe.

How should I clean the GORE-TEX leather upper?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner that is safe for GORE-TEX materials. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can I wear these shoes in the snow?

While the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof protection suitable for light snow and slush, these are low-cut shoes and are not insulated. They are not designed for deep snow or extreme winter conditions.

Do Nike Dunk Low GORE-TEX fit true to size?

Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most wearers. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend ordering your usual Nike size.

What is GORE-TEX technology?

GORE-TEX is a highly durable, waterproof, and breathable fabric membrane. It prevents water from entering the shoe from the outside while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding or basketball?

While the original Dunk Low was a basketball shoe, this GORE-TEX version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its construction and GORE-TEX lining make it durable for daily use, but it's not specifically optimized for high-performance sports like skateboarding or competitive basketball.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to decrease over time.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the exterior fabric can wear off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and re-apply a GORE-TEX approved DWR spray to the exterior. This will reactivate the water-shedding properties.

Leather appears stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New leather requires a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Wearing appropriate socks can also improve comfort during this phase.

Shoes develop scuffs or dirt marks on the leather.

For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often clean them. For deeper dirt or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for GORE-TEX materials, applying it gently with a soft cloth or brush according to the product's instructions.

Shoes retain odor.

Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof protection with GORE-TEX technology
  • Durable and premium leather construction
  • Breathable design prevents overheating
  • Classic and versatile aesthetic
  • Reliable traction for daily wear

Cons

  • Requires specific leather and GORE-TEX cleaning for optimal maintenance
  • Leather may feel stiff until broken in
  • Limited flexibility compared to synthetic materials
  • Not designed for extreme athletic performance

Setup

Setting up your Nike Dunk Low GORE-TEX is straightforward: simply unbox, lace them up to your desired tightness, and wear them. There is no specific break-in period required, though, like all leather footwear, they will conform more to your foot's shape with wear, enhancing comfort over time.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult males (UK size 9.5 for this variant) and are perfectly suited for casual wear, urban exploration, and light outdoor activities where weather protection is a priority. Their classic style makes them compatible with a wide array of outfits, from jeans and chinos to shorts and joggers. They are not intended for high-intensity sports or extreme outdoor conditions.

Care

Maintaining the appearance and performance of your GORE-TEX leather shoes is crucial:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove loose dirt and mud from the leather and outsole. For more stubborn marks, apply a specialized leather cleaner that is safe for GORE-TEX materials. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the leather or the GORE-TEX membrane.
  2. Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
  3. Water Repellency: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outer surface of the GORE-TEX material may diminish. To restore water repellency, clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a GORE-TEX approved DWR spray or treatment, following the product's instructions. This helps water bead up and roll off, maintaining the shoe's protective properties.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
