FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Winflo 12 features a breathable construction intended for air circulation; it is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the cushioning and stability features are designed to handle the mileage required for consistent long-distance training.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes like the Winflo 12 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are they suitable for flat feet?
The Winflo 12 provides neutral support, which can be comfortable for many, but users with specific arch issues may consider adding their own supportive insoles.
Can I wash them in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as it can damage the specialized cushioning materials and structural glue.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try re-lacing the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the bridge of your foot.
Excessive movement inside the shoe
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'heel lock' to secure your ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Winflo 12 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short, light walks or easy runs for the first few days to allow the cushioning to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. If the mesh upper gets dirty, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, as extreme heat can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Compatibility: Ensure you are using the correct size, as this model is designed for a standard male fit. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the internal volume of the shoe.
