FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Nike LD-1000 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort and support, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend referring to Nike's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit. If you're between sizes, consider your preferred fit; some prefer to size up slightly for leather shoes.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture. However, for heavy rain, we recommend using a water-resistant spray designed for leather to protect them. Always allow them to air dry fully if they get wet, away from direct heat.
What's the best way to clean the blue leather?
For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for colored leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness.
Will the blue color fade over time?
Like most colored leather products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct light will help preserve their vibrant blue color.
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The Nike LD-1000 offers reliable general support suitable for everyday wear. For specific arch support needs, you may consider adding custom insoles to enhance comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the trainers for short periods around the house to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. A quality leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair cream or polish in a matching color can help minimize their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers develop an odor.
Remove insoles and air out the trainers regularly after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to allow them to dry out completely.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and reduce the risk of cracking.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
