FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on athletic heritage, the Waffle Racer is best suited for casual wear and walking rather than high-impact running.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, they may soften and adapt to your foot shape slightly with consistent wear.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Waffle Racer fits true to standard Nike sizing; refer to your previous Nike trainers for a consistent fit.
Can I use these in the rain?
While leather is resilient, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent leather protectant spray to maintain the finish and help repel moisture.
Is the outsole replaceable?
No, the rubber waffle outsole is permanently bonded to the shoe and cannot be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip during walking
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and consider a double knot for a more secure fit.
Leather upper shows scuffs or dirt
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Waffle Racers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult sizing; ensure you choose your accurate UK size for the best fit.
- Cleaning: Since the upper is crafted from leather, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration.
- Maintenance: If the leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators.
