FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Nike Air Pegasus 83 Trainers are designed with a classic running heritage but are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes offering advanced support and performance features are recommended.
How should I clean the white parts of the trainers?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the white leather or textile. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive shoe cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure they air dry completely.
What is the main benefit of the leather and textile upper?
The combination of leather and textile provides durability and a premium feel. The leather offers structure and support, while the textile elements can enhance breathability and flexibility.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning, potentially ruining the shoe's structure and appearance.
What does 'Air Pegasus' series signify?
The 'Air Pegasus' series by Nike is known for its long-standing history of providing reliable cushioning and comfort, balancing performance with everyday wearability. The '83' specifically references an iconic early model in the series.
What shoe size corresponds to UK 8 in EU sizing?
A UK size 8 typically corresponds to an EU size 42.5. However, sizing can vary slightly between models, so checking the specific EU size listed or trying them on is always best.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try wearing the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a different size might be more suitable.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
For minor scuffs, try using a soft cloth or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or a professional cleaning service might be necessary.
Reduced cushioning over time
The internal cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive use. While the shoe's structure remains, the 'bounce' may lessen. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive wear beyond intended use.
Discoloration from wear
Follow the cleaning and care instructions diligently. For persistent discoloration on the textile parts, a mild fabric cleaner might help, but test on a small area first.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt from the leather and textile surfaces. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Leather Care: For the leather portions, consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Test any conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining and Insole: If removable, the insole can be aired out separately. The interior can be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution, ensuring it dries thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
