FAQs
Are the Nike Field General 82 suitable for running or sports?
No, the Nike Field General 82 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While comfortable, it is not engineered for high-performance running or athletic sports.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nubuck before your first wear. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
What does 'Waffle Sole' mean?
The 'Waffle Sole' refers to the distinctive outsole pattern featuring raised lugs that resemble a waffle. This design was pioneered by Nike for enhanced traction and cushioning, particularly in early running shoes, now integrated for its iconic style and everyday grip.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Nike sizing can vary slightly between models. We recommend consulting Nike's official size chart and considering your usual Nike shoe size. If possible, trying them on is the best way to ensure an optimal fit. This specific model is a UK 7 for adult males.
Can I put my Nike Field General 82 in the washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these sneakers, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can cause damage, shrinkage, and discoloration. Follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
What is the metal charm on the laces for?
The metal Nike Swoosh charm is a decorative embellishment, adding a unique and refined touch to the sneaker's overall aesthetic. It is a stylistic element and does not serve a functional purpose.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution. Always pre-treat with a protective spray.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are tying them to your comfort level. If fit issues persist, double-check your size against Nike's official sizing guide.
Waffle sole loses grip.
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. A stiff brush and warm soapy water can help restore traction.
Suede feels stiff after getting wet.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap and softness. If significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair specialist.
