FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a heritage racing design, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard Nike sizing. If you have worn Nike trainers before, we recommend sticking to that same UK size.
Are they waterproof?
No, the materials used are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or muddy conditions.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the materials and glue, potentially causing the shoe to lose its shape.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable nylon, complemented by a signature rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot, then adjust tension from the bottom eyelets upwards.
Dirt stuck in the waffle tread pattern
Use a toothpick or a firm-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from between the rubber lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Waffle Racers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the low-profile fit can feel snug for those with wider feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole tread. For the nylon and upper materials, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading of the cream and green colorways.
- Drying: Air dry only. Never place your trainers in a dryer, as high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials.
