FAQs

What does 'ACG' stand for?

ACG stands for All Conditions Gear, Nike's line of apparel and footwear designed for outdoor adventure and performance in various weather conditions.

Are these shoes good for actual rock climbing?

While inspired by designs that could handle rock climbing, they are primarily marketed as hiking shoes. They offer good grip and support for trails but may not have the specialized features of dedicated climbing shoes.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The primary material of the upper is durable leather, with a neoprene bootie for internal fit and comfort.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart and consider your typical UK shoe size. The neoprene bootie offers a snug fit, so if you are between sizes, you might consider sizing up for a more relaxed feel, or sticking to your usual size for maximum support.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash the entire shoe, as this can damage the materials and construction. Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap, and ensure all components like laces are washed separately if needed.

What is the difference between this 2021 release and the original Mowabb?

The 2021 release is a revival of the original Tinker Hatfield design, maintaining its core aesthetic and performance features while utilizing modern manufacturing techniques and materials for updated durability and comfort.

Are these waterproof?

The shoes are water-resistant due to the leather upper, but not fully waterproof. The neoprene bootie can offer some protection, but prolonged immersion in water is not advised. They are designed for breathable performance in mixed conditions.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually on shorter walks. The neoprene bootie is designed to be snug for support.

Leather scuffs or marks

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for footwear. For minor scuffs, a soft cloth can often buff them out. Regular conditioning will help prevent drying and cracking.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While designed for traction, very slick wet surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the sole is clean of debris, as this can impact grip. For extreme conditions, consider alternative footwear.

Neoprene bootie smell

Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then empty before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike ACG Air Mowabb OG Rattan Birch requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for a broad range of adult users and are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are best suited for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, and trail running, but can also be worn for casual everyday use.

Care: To maintain the condition of your ACG Air Mowabb OG Rattan Birch:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and neoprene surfaces with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
  2. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a garment bag.
  3. Sole: Clean the sole with a brush and water to remove mud and debris.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
