FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While they are comfortable, the Zegama is specifically engineered for hiking and rugged trails. They may feel bulky on hard city pavement.
Does the GORE-TEX lining make the shoe too hot?
GORE-TEX is designed to be breathable, but as a waterproof shoe, it will be naturally warmer than a non-waterproof mesh trainer.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space at the front; the wider toe box design should allow your toes to wiggle comfortably without hitting the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if required for additional support.
Are these machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash using a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing and structural materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long hikes
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and re-lace the shoes to provide more room in the midfoot.
Slippage on packed mud
Ensure the outsole lugs are free of packed dirt; tap the shoes against each other to dislodge trapped debris.
Water entering the shoe
Check that the GORE-TEX lining has not been punctured by sharp debris and ensure your gaiters are securely fastened if crossing deep puddles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike ACG Zegama shoes last through many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes on shorter hikes before taking on long-distance excursions to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the outsoles with water and use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the lugs. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or odors from developing inside the damp-resistant lining.
