FAQs

Are these shoes completely waterproof?

Yes, thanks to the integrated GORE-TEX membrane, the shoes are designed to be durably waterproof, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

How should I clean the GORE-TEX leather upper?

For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Do I need to treat them with a waterproofing spray?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides inherent waterproofing. However, applying a GORE-TEX-safe DWR spray or leather protector to the exterior can help maintain the water repellency of the leather surface and prevent it from soaking up water.

Are these shoes suitable for cold weather?

While GORE-TEX provides waterproof protection, these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. They offer some protection against cold and wet, but for very cold conditions, additional insulation (e.g., thick socks) or insulated footwear would be more appropriate.

How breathable are these shoes with GORE-TEX?

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape. The perforated toe box also aids in this. While generally breathable for a waterproof shoe, they may feel slightly less airy than non-GORE-TEX canvas shoes in very warm, dry conditions.

Can I wear these for sports like basketball?

While they derive from a basketball shoe design, the Nike Dunk Low GORE-TEX is primarily intended for casual wear and everyday use, especially in wet conditions. For serious athletic performance, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, integrated with a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof and breathable performance.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Info needed: [Most users find these shoes fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or checking specific size charts.]

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel less waterproof over time.

While the internal GORE-TEX membrane remains waterproof, the outer leather's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a GORE-TEX-compatible DWR spray or leather protector to the exterior.

Leather appears dry or cracked.

Clean the leather surface and then apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm designed for GORE-TEX footwear. Regularly conditioning will help maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.

Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes in a well-ventilated area. Use an anti-odor spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out. Ensure socks are clean and dry when wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Wear & Compatibility

Upon receiving your Nike Dunk Low GORE-TEX shoes, inspect them for any manufacturing defects. The fit should be snug but comfortable, with enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly. These shoes are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and shorts to athletic wear.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your GORE-TEX leather shoes, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning:
  • Surface Dirt: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like a shoe brush or old toothbrush).
  • Stains: Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution, wring it out, and gently wipe down the leather and GORE-TEX surfaces. Do not saturate the shoes.
  • Rinsing: Wipe clean with a damp cloth soaked in plain water to remove any soap residue.
  • Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane. Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape during drying.
  1. Waterproofing (GORE-TEX): The GORE-TEX membrane provides inherent waterproofing. However, to maintain the water repellency of the outer leather, especially over time, you can apply a GORE-TEX safe leather protector spray or balm. Always follow the product's instructions.
  2. Leather Care: To prevent the leather from drying out or cracking, apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for GORE-TEX compatible footwear every few months, or as needed. This will help keep the leather supple.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
