FAQs
Are Nike Motiva Gore-Tex Shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, thanks to the integrated Gore-Tex membrane, these shoes are designed to be durably waterproof and windproof, while still allowing vapor to escape, keeping your feet dry in various weather conditions. However, the top opening (collar) is not sealed, so water can enter from above.
Can I use these shoes for running?
These shoes are suitable for light training and casual jogging, offering comfort and support. For long-distance or high-intensity running, specialized running shoes designed for those specific demands might offer better performance features and cushioning.
How do I clean my Nike Motiva Gore-Tex Shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth using lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is Gore-Tex technology?
Gore-Tex is a highly breathable, waterproof, and windproof fabric technology. It features a membrane with microscopic pores smaller than water droplets but larger than water vapor molecules, preventing liquid water from entering while allowing sweat to evaporate.
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you're between sizes, consider reviewing specific size charts or opting for a half size up if you prefer more room.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel damp or wet inside the shoes.
First, ensure your socks are not absorbing sweat and making your feet feel damp. If water is entering from outside, check the shoes for any visible damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or seams. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment to the outer fabric if water is soaking in rather than beading up.
The shoes feel less comfortable over time.
The insoles might be worn out. Try replacing the original insoles with new, supportive ones. Also, ensure you are cleaning the shoes regularly, as accumulated dirt or debris inside can affect comfort. Verify the lacing isn't too tight or too loose for your foot shape.
The shoes have developed an odor.
Regularly air out your shoes after each wear, especially if your feet sweat. Remove the insoles and let them dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors. Wash laces if they are contributing to the smell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Your Nike Motiva Gore-Tex Shoes require no special setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred snugness, and they are ready for immediate wear.
Compatibility
These shoes are highly compatible with:
- Casual Attire: Jeans, chinos, shorts, and skirts.
- Activewear: Leggings, athletic shorts, and tracksuits for light training.
- Outdoor Gear: Light waterproof jackets and trousers for enhanced weather protection.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Gore-Tex shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and adhesives.
- Restoring Water Repellency: Over time, the outer fabric's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore it using a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for Gore-Tex footwear.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Submerging: While waterproof, excessive submersion or prolonged exposure to standing water can eventually allow moisture entry, particularly around the collar or if the membrane is compromised.
