Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing
These shoes are sized for women. Refer to Nike's official size guide for specific measurements. The lace-up design allows for minor adjustments.
First Use & Breaking In
It's advisable to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather and suede to conform to your foot shape. The supple leather and suede will soften with wear, enhancing comfort and developing the intended vintage character.
Cleaning
- General Dirt: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
- Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser for scuffs and marks. Avoid water directly on suede as it can stain.
- Leather: Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner designed for footwear.
- Gum Sole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Protection
Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and leather to help repel water and stains, especially before first wear.
