Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a footwear product, 'setup' is minimal; simply try them on and adjust laces for comfort. Compatibility refers to pairing with your personal style. The key focus for this product is proper care to maintain its unique materials.
Initial Fit
- Lacing: Loosen laces fully, insert foot, and then tighten evenly from bottom to top, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit without pressure points.
- Walk Test: Walk a few steps indoors to ensure comfort and check for any rubbing or pinching. The padded collar should feel supportive, not restrictive.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Nike Sportswear Field General shoes, especially the faux fur and leather elements, follow these guidelines:
- Faux Fur Overlays:
- Gently brush with a soft-bristled brush (like a clothes brush) to remove dust and maintain fluffiness.
- For minor spots, dampen a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water, then gently blot the area. Avoid rubbing harshly.
- Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Leather Upper:
- Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for real and synthetic leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
- Outsole:
- Clean the rubber Waffle outsole with a brush and water to remove dirt and maintain optimal grip.
- General Cleaning:
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape while air drying.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
