FAQs
What makes the 'Moon Shoe OG' special?
The 'Moon Shoe OG' is a modern re-release inspired by Bill Bowerman's very first Nike running shoe, famously made using a waffle iron. It represents a significant piece of Nike's history.
Are these suitable for actual running?
While inspired by a running shoe, the Moon Shoe OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For high-performance running, Nike offers specialized running models.
How do I clean the nylon upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
What is the difference between the Moon Shoe OG and other Moon Shoe models?
The Moon Shoe OG specifically refers to the models that most closely replicate the original design and materials from the early era, often featuring the iconic waffle sole and historical colorways.
Does the gum rubber sole wear down quickly?
Gum rubber is known for its durability and traction. Like all rubber outsoles, it will show signs of wear over time with regular use, but it is generally a resilient material.
What UK size do these trainers correspond to?
This specific product is listed as a UK size 11.5 for women. Please refer to Nike's official sizing chart for conversions if needed.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Color transfer from the sole
The gum rubber sole may transfer color onto light-colored socks or surfaces, especially when new or wet. This is a characteristic of gum rubber. Allow the shoes to air out and consider using a protective spray if the issue persists.

Care Instructions:
