FAQs
Are Nike Shox suitable for running?
Yes, the Nike Shox system is designed for impact absorption and can be beneficial for running, particularly for absorbing shock. However, athletes seeking maximum responsiveness or a very lightweight feel might prefer other Nike running models.
How do I clean the Shox columns?
The Shox columns can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Ensure no abrasive materials or harsh chemicals are used. Allow them to air dry completely.
What is the main difference between Shox NZ and other Shox models?
While specific models vary, the Shox NZ often emphasizes a balance between performance cushioning and a street-ready aesthetic, typically featuring the signature Shox columns and a supportive upper.
Can I wear these trainers for everyday casual use?
Absolutely. The distinctive design of the Nike Shox makes them a popular choice for casual wear, offering both comfort and a bold style statement.
How durable is the Shox cushioning system?
The Shox cushioning system is engineered for durability and impact absorption. With proper care and for intended activities, it offers long-lasting performance. The carbon rubber heel also adds to overall durability.
What size should I order if I'm between UK sizes?
Nike generally recommends sizing up if you are between sizes for a comfortable fit, especially for athletic footwear. However, consider trying them on if possible or referring to Nike's specific size chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Utilize the gilly lacing system to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the Shox columns are clear of debris. While the cushioning is durable, extreme wear might eventually reduce its impact absorption. Proper care extends its lifespan.
Squeaking noise during wear
This can occasionally happen due to friction within the sole or Shox system. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or around the sole. Ensure laces are properly tied.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider the intended use; while good for impact, they might not be the best choice for all-day comfort if you prefer very soft, flexible shoes. Break them in gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Shox Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness using the gilly lacing system for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for adult male wearers. While suitable for a range of athletic activities and casual wear, their specific cushioning system is optimized for impact absorption rather than extreme flexibility sports.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the Shox columns.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
