What is the Waffle sole for?

Can I use the Nike AL8 as personal protective equipment (PPE)?

Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct shoe size. Try different types of socks (e.g., thicker or thinner) to adjust the fit. Break them in gradually with short wears.
Shoes feel less breathable after extended wear.
Clean the mesh upper regularly to prevent dirt and dust buildup from obstructing airflow. Ensure socks are breathable.
Slipping on very wet or slick surfaces.
While the Waffle sole provides good traction for everyday surfaces, exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or oily conditions as the shoes are not designed for extreme grip in these environments.
Stains on leather or suede overlays.
Address stains promptly. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede cleaner, avoiding excess water.
Foot odor develops in shoes.
Allow shoes to air out between wears. Use odor-absorbing inserts or shoe deodorizers. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
