FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
While the GORE-TEX provides waterproofing, these are primarily designed for three-season use. For extreme cold, consider insulated winter boots. You can enhance warmth with appropriate thermal socks.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing. Hand wash with mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness.
What does 'ACG' stand for?
ACG stands for All Conditions Gear, Nike's sub-brand focused on outdoor apparel and footwear designed for performance in various environments.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane itself is highly durable. However, the overall waterproofing effectiveness can be maintained by proper care and by ensuring the outer materials (which protect the membrane) are clean and treated if necessary.
Can these be used for trail running?
Yes, their grip and cushioning make them suitable for trail running, although they are heavier than dedicated trail running shoes. The low-cut design offers more flexibility than a boot.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that no water is entering from the ankle opening. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of any mud or debris that might be clogging the tread. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. The surface itself might be exceptionally slick.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try using different insoles or thicker/thinner socks. Break in the shoes further with shorter walks.
Difficult to put on
Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoe on. Ensure your socks are smooth and not bunched up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially to break them in, especially if you have a history of blisters.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking and outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to complement the GORE-TEX properties.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. Periodic treatment with a suitable waterproofing spray can help maintain water repellency on the upper materials (if applicable, check manufacturer recommendations).
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
