Product Information
Full details
The Nike ACG Watercat+ Phantom is designed for the adventurous adult male who seeks footwear capable of handling wet and rugged terrain. Its key benefit lies in its water-friendly construction and secure fit, making it ideal for navigating streams or beaches. A potential caveat is its unique aesthetic, which may not suit all preferences. This updated 2006 silhouette offers a lightweight, durable design with a non-wicking cord upper, tonal leather overlays, and a stabilizing heel cap. It features a perforated, water-resistant insole for drainage and ventilation, a toggle lace system for easy adjustment, a cushioned foam midsole, and a high-traction rubber outsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
The Nike ACG Watercat+ Phantom is designed to be water-friendly, meaning it handles water well and dries quickly. The upper is made of non-wicking cords, and the insole is perforated for drainage. However, they are not designed as fully waterproof boots; water can enter through the upper if submerged.
How do I clean the cord upper?
Rinse the cord upper with clean water. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry completely.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn sockless due to their water-friendly features, you can wear them with thin, quick-drying socks if preferred, especially in cooler conditions. Thicker socks may hinder the water drainage capabilities.
What does 'ACG' stand for?
ACG stands for 'All Conditions Gear,' Nike's line of apparel and footwear designed for outdoor activities and various weather conditions.
Is the insole removable?
The product description indicates a water-resistant insole that is perforated for ventilation and drainage. It is not specified if it is removable, but it is designed to manage moisture effectively.
What is the release date of this updated model?
This updated silhouette was released on June 22, 2023.
What is the primary purpose of the toggle lace system?
The toggle lace system is designed for quick and easy on-and-off, as well as a secure, adjustable fit that can be managed even with wet hands.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the toggle is clean and free of debris. If the laces are wet, they might be stiffer; dry them thoroughly and try again. Sometimes, pulling the toggle while slightly loosening the lace tension can help.
Foot odor after use in water
Rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water after each use in water. Ensure the insoles are completely dry before storing. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for any embedded debris or wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the shoes are heavily worn, consider replacing them for optimal traction.
Leather overlays feel stiff
Clean the leather overlays with a damp cloth. You may condition the leather sparingly with a leather conditioner suitable for footwear, following product instructions, but ensure it does not compromise water-resistance.
