FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While the herringbone pattern provides great grip, the leather construction is optimized for indoor performance and may wear faster on harsh outdoor surfaces.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not machine wash.
Do I need to go up a size?
The Nike Book 2 fits true to size, but if you prefer a looser fit or wear thick performance socks, you may consider a half-size up.
What is the primary cushioning technology?
It features a forefoot Air Zoom unit paired with a Cushlon foam midsole for a responsive feel.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes come with a supercharged insole designed for comfort; if you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the low-profile design.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness during first wear
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period; wear them for light activities to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
Traction feels slippery
Dust buildup on the herringbone outsole can reduce grip; wipe the outsoles with a damp towel to restore traction.
Fit feels too tight in the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system, specifically the tension on the midfoot webbing, and re-tie to accommodate foot volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by adjusting the laces through the midfoot webbing system to find your preferred lockdown level. Since these shoes are constructed with leather, avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can damage the material and affect the fit. For care, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
