FAQs
Are the Nike Air Max 97 SE suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the Air Max 97 SE is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and general athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes might offer better performance and support.
How do I know if I have the right size UK 8.5?
The UK 8.5 is a specific men's size. If unsure, measure your foot length and compare it with Nike's official sizing guide available on their website.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather material. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the main benefit of the Air Max cushioning?
The full-length Air Max unit provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing impact on your feet and joints.
How should I store my Air Max 97 SE trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in a shoe bag or their original box can protect them from dust and damage.
Is the grey and silver colourway easy to keep clean?
The leather material can be wiped clean. However, the lighter silver accents may show dirt more readily than darker colours, requiring regular maintenance for optimal appearance.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if the issue persists.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure correct lacing to avoid pressure points. Consider wearing thicker socks.
Leather creasing excessively
Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees for storage and avoid overly tight lacing at the toe box.
Traction feels poor on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but grip may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care:
