Nike Air Max SNDR Gore-Tex - Black - UK 6.5

Yes, thanks to the integrated GORE-TEX membrane, these sneakers offer reliable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

While the GORE-TEX membrane is breathable, the waterproofing might make them feel slightly warmer than non-waterproof sneakers. They are suitable for various temperatures but might be less ideal in very hot, humid conditions.

The shrouded design provides a unique, iconic aesthetic and an extra layer of protection from elements. The zip closure offers a secure, snug fit and a modern, streamlined look.

Nike footwear generally runs true to size. However, given the unique shrouded design and zip closure, it is always recommended to consult Nike's official size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

They are ideal for daily wear, urban commuting, casual outings, and light outdoor activities where weather protection, comfort, and a distinctive style are desired.

Phylon foam is a lightweight and responsive cushioning material used in the midsole of the shoe. It provides comfort and shock absorption, contributing to a comfortable experience with every step.

First, check for any visible tears or damage to the shoe's upper. Ensure your socks are not cotton, which retains moisture; opt for synthetic or wool socks. Also, the outer DWR coating might be worn off; consider reapplying a DWR treatment. If the issue persists, ensure the zip is fully closed.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, silicone spray, or rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth. Ensure there's no debris caught in the zipper path.

Allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after exposure to moisture.

While Air Max cushioning is durable, its responsiveness can decrease with extensive wear. Ensure you're wearing them for their intended purpose. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain material integrity.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may need to be refreshed. This doesn't mean the GORE-TEX membrane is failing. Purchase a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical fabrics and apply it according to the product instructions.
