FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, their specialized design for outdoor performance and rugged aesthetics might be more than needed for typical casual wear. They are best suited for activities where their GORE-TEX waterproofing and superior traction are beneficial.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently clean the GORE-TEX exterior with a soft brush or cloth using cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. Always air dry.

What is the main benefit of the React foam midsole?

The React foam provides soft, responsive cushioning, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue during extended periods of wear, especially on challenging terrain.

How durable is the sticky rubber outsole?

The sticky rubber outsole is designed for excellent grip on mountain-inspired terrain and is constructed to be durable for various outdoor adventures, though like all rubber, it will show wear over time with heavy use.

Can I replace the laces if they get worn out?

Yes, the laces can be replaced. Ensure you use laces of a similar length and material suitable for outdoor footwear.

What does 'ACG' stand for?

ACG stands for All Conditions Gear, Nike's sub-brand dedicated to producing durable, comfortable, and protective apparel and footwear for outdoor exploration.

What UK size is equivalent to EU size 46 for this shoe?

An EU size 46 typically corresponds to a UK size 11.5 to 12, depending on the brand's specific sizing chart.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into the shoe.

Ensure GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check lacing for tightness and ensure no large gaps. Reapply DWR treatment if water is beading poorly on the outer fabric. Clean the shoe thoroughly, as dirt can impede GORE-TEX performance.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be filling the tread pattern. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if significantly worn, traction will be diminished.

Laces are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the laces are not frayed or damaged. If the lacing system feels stiff, try loosening all the way, then re-tightening gradually. Ensure the internal lacing mechanism is free of debris.

Discomfort during wear.

Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit, ensuring it's snug but not constricting. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the activity and terrain. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX.
  • Superior traction on various surfaces, including rocky and wet trails.
  • Comfortable cushioning for long hikes or extended periods outdoors.
  • Quick and adjustable lacing system for convenience.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged environments.

Cons

  • May be overly rugged or specialized for casual daily wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond adjusting the laces to your preferred fit. Ensure the laces are correctly threaded through the eyelets for optimal performance.

Compatibility: Designed for outdoor activities and varied terrain. Compatible with standard hiking socks. Not intended for formal wear or indoor athletic court sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.
  2. 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 materials, especially the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. GORE-TEX Maintenance: Periodically, you may need to refresh the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the shoe's exterior to ensure optimal water-repellency. Follow product instructions for DWR treatment sprays or wipes. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
