FAQs

Are these shoes completely waterproof?

The GORE-TEX leather upper provides excellent water resistance, meaning your feet will stay dry in rain and wet conditions. However, like most low-cut footwear, submersion in water or water entering over the collar can still lead to wet feet.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX leather material?

For routine cleaning, gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for waterproof materials or GORE-TEX. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Can I use these shoes for sports or intense physical activity?

While the outsole provides a 'sticky grip' suitable for casual wear and offers a nod to its court heritage, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers. They are not intended for high-performance sports, but can handle light, everyday active use.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Most users find that the Nike Dunk Low GORE-TEX fits true to Nike's standard sizing for the Dunk Low silhouette. We recommend purchasing your usual Nike shoe size.

What is the benefit of GORE-TEX in these sneakers?

The GORE-TEX membrane makes the leather upper waterproof yet breathable. This means your feet stay dry from external moisture (rain, puddles) while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, enhancing comfort in diverse conditions.

Is special conditioning required for the leather?

Yes, to maintain the quality and appearance of the premium leather, regular cleaning and occasional conditioning with a product suitable for waterproof leather or GORE-TEX materials is recommended. This helps prevent drying and cracking.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable

The GORE-TEX leather can be rigid initially. Wear the shoes for short periods daily to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot's shape. This process typically takes a few days to a week.

Water resistance seems to be diminishing

The outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off over time. Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a GORE-TEX approved DWR spray or leather waterproofing product. This will reactivate or restore the water repellency of the outer surface.

Squeaking sound when walking

A common cause for squeaking in new shoes is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather resistance with GORE-TEX technology
  • Durable and high-quality leather construction
  • Maintains classic Nike Dunk style
  • Offers good breathability for a leather shoe
  • Reliable traction for daily wear

Cons

  • Premium leather requires specific cleaning and conditioning
  • May feel slightly stiffer than non-GORE-TEX versions until broken in
  • Limited flexibility compared to textile-based sneakers
  • Higher price point due to specialized materials

The Nike Dunk Low GORE-TEX requires minimal setup. Simply unbox and wear. For optimal longevity and performance, follow these care guidelines:

Initial Wear

  1. Sizing: These shoes generally run true to size. Ensure a comfortable fit to allow for proper break-in of the leather.
  2. Break-in Period: The GORE-TEX leather may feel slightly stiff initially. Regular wear will help the material conform to your foot for increased comfort.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Upper: For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for GORE-TEX or waterproof leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
  • 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 leather and bonding.
  • Waterproofing: While GORE-TEX offers inherent water resistance, over time and with wear, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can diminish. Reapply a GORE-TEX approved DWR spray or leather protector periodically to maintain optimal water repellency.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Compatibility

  • These shoes are designed for adults (UK 9.5 for this variant) and are compatible with standard sock types. Their versatile style pairs well with casual and smart-casual attire.
