FAQs
What is Nike Shox technology?
Nike Shox technology utilizes a system of hollow, flexible columns in the midsole designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive, springy feel underfoot. It was first introduced in 2003 and is known for its distinctive look and cushioning properties.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These Shox TL trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, particularly the mesh and the Shox cushioning system, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does 'Junior' mean in the product title?
'Junior' indicates that these trainers are sized for children and young teenagers.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The trainers typically feature a textile and synthetic upper, with a full TPU cage for support. The sole is made of synthetic material and rubber.
How do I clean the TPU cage and overlays?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the TPU cage and moulded overlays. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoes require a short break-in period.
Traction seems poor.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. The modified Waffle outsole provides grip on most surfaces when clean.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap solution or a damp cloth. Dab gently and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Shox columns appear damaged.
Inspect for visible cracks or significant deformation. Minor scuffs are normal. If structural damage is evident, discontinue use and consult the retailer for warranty information.
