FAQs
Are the Nike Air Winflo 11 Gore-Tex trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, the Gore-Tex material is designed to be waterproof, effectively keeping your feet dry in wet conditions. However, like all waterproof materials, their effectiveness can be influenced by extreme conditions or prolonged submersion.
How do I clean my Gore-Tex trainers?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
Can I wear these for trail running?
While durable, these trainers are primarily designed for road running. They offer less aggressive tread and support for technical trails compared to dedicated trail running shoes.
What is the main benefit of the Gore-Tex material?
The primary benefit is its waterproof and breathable nature, which keeps your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
How does the Nike Air cushioning work?
The Nike Air cushioning uses pressurized air encapsulated within a durable pouch in the midsole to provide lightweight, responsive cushioning and impact absorption.
What is the difference between this and a non-Gore-Tex version?
The Gore-Tex version offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for wet weather. A non-Gore-Tex version would typically offer better breathability in dry conditions.
What sizes are available for adult men?
These trainers are available in various adult UK sizes, with specific options listed for men, including UK 7, 7.5, 8.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, and 15, among others.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite Gore-Tex.
Ensure laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress at the tongue. Check for any visible damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Consider that heavy, prolonged submersion might eventually overwhelm the waterproofing.
Slightly tight fit.
The Gore-Tex material may require a short break-in period. If the tightness persists after a few wears, consider the next half-size up for future purchases.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The Air unit is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for optimal performance.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt.
Use a soft brush with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Rinse gently and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
