Nike ACG Rufus - Black - UK 6

ACG stands for 'All Conditions Gear', indicating that the products are designed to perform in various environments and weather conditions, offering durability and functionality.

While the outsole provides traction, the premium suede upper is not ideal for heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions. Water can stain and damage suede. It's best to apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede and avoid significant exposure to moisture.

Regular, light cleaning with a suede brush after each wear is recommended to prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning with a specialized cleaner should be done as needed for stains or significant dirt.

The Nike ACG Rufus is designed for light off-road trails and city streets. It offers comfort and traction for casual outdoor activities but is not built for the rigorous demands of serious, challenging hiking or mountaineering.

The padded collar and overall fit are designed to keep the shoe secure. Ensure you select the correct size. Over time, suede may conform to your foot, maintaining a snug fit. Avoid excessive stretching during wear.

Generally, Nike ACG Rufus sneakers are expected to fit true to size for Nike footwear. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting Nike's official size chart or trying them on if possible.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher grime, apply a suede eraser or cleaner according to product instructions. Always brush in one direction.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Suede can stretch slightly over time. If new, allow a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider checking Nike's official size guide for a proper fit comparison.

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, no shoe can prevent all slips on extremely wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Check the outsole for wear, as worn treads can reduce grip.

Do not rub. Blot excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake out thoroughly. Consider using shoe deodorizers.
