FAQs

These trainers are designed for everyday wear, offering a blend of style and comfort inspired by classic athletic footwear. They are suitable for casual activities, walking, and light training.
How do I clean the textile and leather parts of the trainers?

What type of cushioning do these trainers feature?
The Nike Astro Grabber trainers feature responsive Air Zoom cushioning combined with a lightweight foam midsole for comfort and a quick feel.
Are these trainers suitable for American football or rigorous sports?
While inspired by turf shoes, these trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and light athletic activities. They do not offer the specialized support or protection needed for competitive American football or high-impact sports.
What does the 'Waffle outsole' do?
The Waffle outsole is a durable rubber outsole with a pattern designed to provide excellent traction and grip on various surfaces, while also being an iconic element of Nike's design history.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structure of the trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of black textile with strategic leather accents for added style and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try loosening the laces. If the shoes remain too tight after adjustment, consider if this is the correct size or if the fit is not suitable for your foot shape.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.
Slight squeaking noise
This can occasionally happen with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces. If the noise persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, or check if the tongue is rubbing against the inner material.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The Waffle outsole provides optimal grip on dry or moderately damp surfaces. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution and consider alternative footwear designed for such environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult female wearers. They are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. Their compatibility extends to various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and athletic wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt from the foam midsole and rubber outsole. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
