Product Information
Full details
The Nike ACG Watercat+ is a versatile, high-performance sneaker designed for outdoor enthusiasts and active adults who prioritize both breathability and durability in varied environments. Built for comfort during exploration, this shoe excels in wet or mixed-terrain conditions thanks to its specialized construction, though users should note that the open-weave design may offer less protection against debris compared to traditional hiking boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed specifically to let water pass through and drain quickly, rather than keeping water out.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
They are ideal for light, warm-weather hiking, but for long-distance treks with heavy packs, a more supportive hiking boot is recommended.
How should I clean the Vapor Green colorway?
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water. Avoid bleach or abrasive scrubbing as it may damage the weave.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The Watercat+ offers a minimalist, flexible feel; it does not provide the rigid arch support found in specialized running shoes.
Are these suitable for ocean swimming?
While they perform well in wet conditions, always rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Debris getting stuck in the woven upper
After your hike, gently tap the soles to dislodge debris or use a light spray of water to rinse the material.
Foot slipping inside the shoe when wet
Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately before entering water to keep your foot locked into the footbed.
Shoe taking too long to dry
Remove the laces and insert a small, absorbent cloth into the shoe to soak up excess moisture, then place in a dry area with good air circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike ACG Watercat+ remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Because of the woven upper, these shoes are best cleaned by hand using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the synthetic fibers. After use in water, allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. Ensure you have the correct size based on the UK sizing scale provided in the product specifications to maximize comfort and fit.
