FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Nike Air Force 1s generally run true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

Can I wear these for activities other than skateboarding?

Absolutely. While designed with skateboarding in mind, their comfortable Air cushioning, durable construction, and classic style make them excellent for everyday casual wear, walking, and other light activities.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions. Always allow to air dry completely.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, we recommend wearing athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials. The thickness of your socks can also slightly impact fit.

Is the 'Air unit' visible?

The Nike Air unit in the Air Force 1 is typically encased within the midsole, providing cushioning without being externally visible in this particular model.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the leather and internal components.

What is the gum rubber outsole for?

The gum rubber outsole provides superior grip and traction, which is particularly beneficial for skateboarding for board control, but also enhances stability and durability for everyday wear on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Leather appears dull or scuffed

Clean the area with a damp cloth, then use a leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather to restore its shine and minimize scuff marks.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmly. For a looser fit, re-lace with more slack. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks for your typical use.

Poor grip on slippery surfaces

While the gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction, extreme wet or icy conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Consider your environment and tread carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Care

To maintain the quality of your leather sneakers, clean them regularly. Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to its instructions, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing. For optimal longevity, consider applying a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place.
