FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they provide excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle use and short-to-moderate walking, rather than professional long-distance running.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily with durable leather, providing a structured feel.
How do I maintain the grey and black colourway?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dust and a slightly damp cloth for spot cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Are the Shox columns removable?
No, the Shox columns are an integrated part of the midsole and are not intended to be removed or replaced.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally follow standard Nike sizing. If you have wider feet, consider checking your fit at a retailer or trying a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shape and reduce permanent creases.
Squeaking sound from the Shox columns
Ensure the columns are free of small debris or pebbles; wipe the exterior of the columns with a damp cloth.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces fully from the eyelets down to the midfoot before sliding the foot in to avoid straining the ankle collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, these shoes should be worn with athletic-style socks. As they feature leather components, it is recommended to apply a protective spray before initial use to guard against water and stains. To clean, wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the bonding agents in the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discolouring. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
