FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Waffle Racer's design?

The Waffle Racer combines a classic, retro aesthetic with modern comfort features like memory foam, making it suitable for both style and everyday wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes and featuring good traction, the Waffle Racer is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For serious running, consider specialized Nike running footwear.

How do I clean the nylon and suede parts?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt on suede and a damp cloth for nylon. Specialized suede cleaners can be used cautiously for stains. Always allow them to air dry.

What does the 'Midnight Navy' colour refer to?

'Midnight Navy' describes the main color of the shoe's upper, which is a dark blue hue. The 'Safety Orange' refers to the accent color of the Swoosh logo.

What size should I order?

The product information indicates these are men's UK sizes. Refer to Nike's general sizing guide for conversions if needed, and check the specific size listed (e.g., UK 10).

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Due to the nylon and suede materials, these trainers are not ideal for wet weather. They offer limited water resistance and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede material appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The Waffle outsole provides excellent grip on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions as with any footwear.

Inside of shoe feels uncomfortable after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If the memory foam still feels insufficient, consider using thin, supportive insoles designed for casual wear.
