FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Nike Shox Z Calistra trainers are designed more for lifestyle and light athletic activities. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and flexibility required for serious running.

How do I clean the Shox columns?

Gently clean the Shox columns using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a small amount of water or mild soap. Wipe them clean afterwards with a dry cloth.

What is the main benefit of the Shox technology?

The Shox technology provides a unique system of responsive cushioning by absorbing impact through the columns and returning energy, offering a distinct feel and supportive ride.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and longevity.

What does 'Z Calistra' refer to?

'Z Calistra' is a specific model name within the Nike Shox line, indicating a particular design and feature set for that iteration of the trainer.

Do these trainers come in other colours?

The product information specifies a black and red colourway. Availability of other colours may vary depending on the retailer and season.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with standard athletic shoelaces. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

This is normal for new Shox trainers. Wear them for several short periods to break them in. The cushioning will become more responsive with use.

Dirt build-up on Shox columns

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a small amount of water or mild soap to gently clean the columns. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Uneven wear on soles

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Examine your gait for any abnormalities that might cause uneven wear. Rotate trainers with other footwear if used for extensive periods.
