FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking trips?
Yes, the Nike ACG Mountain Fly shoes are designed for durability and comfort, making them suitable for moderate to heavy backpacking trips where reliable traction and waterproofing are essential.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle, but your heel should not lift excessively when walking. The shoe should feel snug but not tight.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesives. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred cleaning method.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX material?
The GORE-TEX material provides a waterproof barrier, keeping your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles, while also allowing perspiration vapor to escape, thus maintaining breathability and comfort.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapply waterproofing treatment as needed, typically when you notice that water no longer beads up on the surface of the shoe. This can vary depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but often annually or semi-annually is sufficient.
What does 'ACG' stand for?
ACG stands for 'All Conditions Gear,' indicating that this product line is engineered by Nike for use in various weather and terrain conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet after use
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that water isn't entering through the shoe's upper opening. Check if laces were tied loosely, allowing water ingress. If the membrane is damaged, consider replacement. If it's from the opening, ensure socks are high enough and laces are secure.
Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be lodged in the tread. Check the outsole for significant wear; if worn down, traction will be compromised.
Discomfort or blisters during hikes
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced appropriately for the terrain. Try different sock thicknesses or materials. Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for shorter walks before longer hikes.
Shoes smell after use
Remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air dry completely. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda to absorb odors. Washable insoles can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.

Care:
