FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The Nike Air Footscape Woven is designed for casual wear and daily comfort, emphasizing natural motion and unique style. While comfortable for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running performance.

How do I clean the unique woven upper?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the woven areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which could damage the intricate weave. Air dry completely.

What is the benefit of the asymmetrical lacing system?

The asymmetrical lacing system is designed to follow the natural curve of your foot, potentially offering a more anatomical fit and reducing pressure points on the top of the foot. It also contributes to the shoe's distinctive aesthetic.

Is the sizing true to size?

Nike footwear typically runs true to size. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. Given the ergonomic design, a snug yet comfortable fit is ideal for experiencing the full benefits of the natural motion sole.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The Nike Air Footscape Woven's `leather` and woven upper are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended to preserve the materials and shoe integrity.

Are the crocodile overlays real crocodile skin?

The description refers to 'crocodile overlays', which indicates a material with a crocodile-like texture or pattern, typically embossed leather or a synthetic material designed to mimic crocodile skin. It is not specified as genuine exotic skin.

Troubleshooting

The asymmetrical lacing feels uncomfortable or uneven.

Untie the laces completely and re-lace them, ensuring even tension from the bottom eyelets upwards. Adjust the tightness gradually until you find a comfortable and secure fit that distributes pressure evenly across your foot.

The woven material appears dirty or has light scuffs.

Gently clean the woven areas with a soft-bristled brush or a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild, diluted soap. For more stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for textile uppers can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The leather overlays look dull or dry.

Wipe the `leather` surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. If dryness persists, apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for footwear. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore its luster and keep the leather supple.

Shoes make squeaking noises while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If the squeak is from the outsole, check for debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Nike Air Footscape Woven is straightforward. The asymmetrical lacing system is a key feature; take a moment to adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit that cradles your foot. Experiment with different lacing tensions until it feels just right. There is no special break-in period required, though initial wear might involve minor adjustments to the lacing.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile for casual and streetwear fashion. They pair well with:

  • Casual Apparel: Jeans, joggers, shorts, and casual trousers.
  • Athleisure Looks: Track pants and comfortable activewear for a relaxed yet stylish ensemble.
  • Dressier Casual: Can be styled with chinos or skirts for an elevated casual look, especially due to the premium `leather` material and distinctive design.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Nike Air Footscape Woven, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Woven Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the woven sections. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the weave.
  2. Caring for Leather Overlays: For the `leather` and `crocodile overlays`, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner, applied sparingly, to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
  3. Sole Cleaning: The natural motion Footscape sole can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt and grime.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these shoes, as it can severely damage the materials and construction.
