FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low features Gore-Tex technology, which is a highly effective waterproof and breathable membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What kind of activities are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for versatile use, including everyday wear, urban commuting, casual walking, and light outdoor adventures like short hikes or trail walks in varying weather.

How do I clean my Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low Gore-Tex shoes?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does 'ACG' stand for?

ACG stands for 'All Conditions Gear.' It's Nike's product line designed to perform in diverse environments, emphasizing functionality and durability for both urban and outdoor settings.

Are these shoes warm enough for winter?

While they are waterproof, the Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low Gore-Tex shoes are not insulated. For colder temperatures, you may need to wear thicker, thermal socks for added warmth. They protect against wetness, not extreme cold.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Info needed: General fit recommendation. Typically, Nike ACG shoes are designed to fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend trying them on or consulting Nike's official sizing guide for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel damp inside the shoes despite the Gore-Tex.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks; cotton socks can retain moisture, while synthetic or wool moisture-wicking socks help manage sweat. Also, check that the shoes are properly sized and not overly tight, which can restrict airflow. The Gore-Tex membrane keeps external water out, but internal moisture from sweat needs to escape.

The outer fabric is absorbing water instead of repelling it.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outer fabric may have worn off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and then apply a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for footwear. This will restore the fabric's ability to shed water, allowing the Gore-Tex membrane to work optimally.

The shoes are squeaking when I walk.

Squeaking can be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between parts of the sole. Try removing the insoles, cleaning them and the interior of the shoe, and then reinserting them. A small amount of powder (like baby powder) under the insole can sometimes resolve this. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to the outsole, which could indicate a manufacturing issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Waterproof Protection: Gore-Tex ensures feet remain dry in wet conditions.
  • Highly Versatile: Suitable for both stylish everyday wear and light outdoor adventures.
  • Durable Build Quality: Designed for longevity and resilience.
  • Comfortable for Extended Wear: Provides sustained comfort during long periods of activity.

Cons

  • Potentially Less Breathable: Compared to non-waterproof shoes, the Gore-Tex membrane may reduce overall airflow.

  • May require a break-in period: Some users might find a short adjustment period is needed for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This product requires no complex setup. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, insert your foot, and adjust the lacing for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure your socks are appropriate for the weather conditions; moisture-wicking socks are recommended for optimal comfort with Gore-Tex footwear.

Compatibility

  • User Group: Designed for adult males, with various UK foot sizes available (e.g., UK 5.5, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 9.5, 10, 11).
  • Activities: Compatible with a wide range of activities including everyday wear, urban commuting, light hiking, walking, and casual outdoor use.
  • Terrain: Suitable for urban environments, paved paths, and well-maintained natural trails.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Gore-Tex footwear:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap). Do not submerge the entire shoe in water or machine wash, as this can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and adhesives.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can degrade materials and adhesives.
  3. Laces & Insoles: Remove laces and insoles periodically for separate cleaning and airing to prevent odor build-up.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: While Gore-Tex is inherently waterproof, the outer fabric (DWR coating) may lose its water repellency over time. If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for footwear to restore surface repellency.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
