Nike Shox R4 - White/Silver - UK 12

While the original Shox technology was introduced for performance, the Shox R4, especially this recrafted version, is primarily designed for casual wear and walking. Its cushioning system offers excellent comfort for daily use but may not provide the specialized support and energy return required for serious running.

The Nike Shox R4 generally fits true to size. We recommend selecting your standard Nike shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, you can measure your foot length and compare it to Nike's official size chart.

Nike Shox technology features a mechanical cushioning system typically found in the heel, comprising flexible columns and moderator plates. These columns compress upon impact, absorbing shock, and then rebound, providing a responsive, spring-like feel and added elevation.

The synthetic and textile upper offers some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the materials and maintain their longevity. The rubber outsole does provide good traction on damp surfaces.

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For regular use, a light cleaning every few weeks with a damp cloth should suffice. For heavier soiling, a more thorough cleaning as described in the 'Care Instructions' section is recommended.

Yes, the Nike Shox R4 is available in various colorways to suit different preferences. Please check the product page for other available options in the Shox R4 series.

The Shox technology and upper materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet. The flexible columns will become more responsive over time.

Ensure the shoes are worn for appropriate activities; Shox is primarily for walking and casual wear, not high-impact running where different cushioning might be expected. If the issue persists after break-in, inspect the Shox columns for any visible damage or compression that doesn't rebound.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or between the outsole and certain floor surfaces. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak comes from the sole, it might be due to moisture or a manufacturing anomaly; ensure shoes are dry before wear.
