FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Waffle Nav is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not intended for rigorous athletic activities like running, which require specialized footwear for optimal support and performance.

How do I clean the white foam sole?

The foam midsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser sponge can be effective, but test on a small area first to ensure it doesn't damage the material.

What is the main difference from the Nike Daybreak?

The Nike Waffle Nav is a reimagining of the Nike Daybreak, featuring an elevated platform sole for a trendier silhouette and enhanced comfort, distinguishing it from the original lower-profile design.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and textile upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the materials.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, Nike footwear runs true to size for most customers. However, if you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up half a size.

What does the 'Nav' in Waffle Nav stand for?

The 'Nav' likely refers to the contemporary, modern update applied to the classic Waffle silhouette, suggesting a 'new' or 'navigated' version of the original design.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe feels slightly stiff initially

This is normal for new shoes, especially with suede. Wear them for short periods to break them in, allowing the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

While the waffle pattern provides good grip, all rubber outsoles can be less effective on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the suede and textile materials:
