FAQs

Are the Nike Field General 82 trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Nike Field General 82 is designed as a lifestyle shoe, ideal for casual wear and streetwear. It is not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running, basketball, or other competitive sports.

How should I clean the suede upper?

For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid saturating the suede with water.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The Nike Field General 82 trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the suede material. We recommend applying a water-resistant spray specifically designed for suede for added protection.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Generally, Nike Field General 82 trainers are reported to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. If you are unsure, it is always recommended to try them on or consult a Nike size guide.

What kind of arch support do these trainers offer?

The Nike Field General 82 features a foam midsole that provides basic cushioning and comfort for everyday wear. If you require specific or advanced arch support, you may consider using custom orthotics or additional insoles.

Are there other color variants available for the Field General 82?

Yes, the Nike Field General 82 series comes in a variety of colorways beyond the Green, Brown, Suede combination, including options with different secondary colors like White or Black, and various shades of Green, Brown, and Blue. Check product listings for specific available variants.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, try a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit, always testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Trainer odor

Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Replace insoles if the odor persists.

Outsole grip reduction

Check the waffle outsole for any embedded debris, such as small stones or dirt, and remove them. Clean the outsole regularly with a brush and mild soap and water to ensure optimal traction.

Suede discoloration or water stains

If untreated, water can stain suede. For minor water marks, try lightly dampening the entire affected area with a clean cloth and allowing it to air dry evenly. For severe discoloration or stains, professional suede cleaning may be required. Prevent this by using a protective spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable Construction: Built with a suede upper, leather overlays, and a full cupsole stitch for lasting wear.
  • Distinctive Vintage Style: The retro design, inspired by American football heritage, offers a unique aesthetic.
  • Comfortable for Casual Use: Features a padded collar and foam midsole for all-day comfort.
  • Good Everyday Traction: The classic waffle outsole provides reliable grip on various surfaces.

Cons

  • Not for Performance Sports: Primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not suitable for high-intensity athletic activities.
  • Suede Requires Specific Care: The suede material needs careful cleaning and protection from harsh elements to maintain its appearance.
  • Limited Breathability: Suede uppers may offer less ventilation compared to mesh or knit materials, potentially leading to warmer feet in hot conditions.

Setup

Using your Nike Field General 82 trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded comfortably and securely through all eyelets.
  3. Wearing: Slip your feet into the trainers. Adjust laces for a snug, comfortable fit that isn't too tight.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire:

  • Clothing: Excellent with denim, cargo pants, chinos, shorts, and casual tracksuits.
  • Occasions: Perfect for daily wear, urban exploration, social events, and relaxed weekend activities.

Care

Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your suede trainers:

  1. Suede Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the suede upper. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning Suede: For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Outsole Cleaning: Clean the waffle outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip. Use a small brush to get into crevices.
  5. Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
