FAQs

How should I clean my LDWaffles?

Clean using a damp cloth for general dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush for intricate areas. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Consult Nike and sacai sizing charts. Consider the hybrid nature; some users find they run slightly large or small. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or review user feedback on sizing for this specific model.

Uneven layering of materials

The sacai collaboration is known for its deconstructed and layered aesthetic. Minor variations in layering are part of the design's intentionality. Significant defects should be addressed with the retailer.

Difficulty cleaning intricate details

Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with a mild soap solution for hard-to-reach areas. Be gentle around the layered panels and stitching. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
