FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
While based on running heritage, these are lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual use rather than intense running.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from durable, lightweight nylon.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard Nike sizing. If you are between sizes, consider your usual fit for Nike lifestyle footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and glue. Hand cleaning is the safest method.
Are the insoles removable?
Most pairs come with a standard sockliner, but it is recommended to keep the factory insole for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set.
Dirt buildup on the nylon upper
Gently spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft-bristled brush.
Sole losing grip over time
Clear debris stuck between the lugs of the Waffle sole using a toothpick or soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces to your preferred snugness. For care, keep the nylon upper clean by gently wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the materials. To maintain shape and support, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and consider using shoe trees if you intend to store them for extended periods.
