FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by 70s running shoes and are not designed to provide the support needed for long-distance running or competitive racing.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of lightweight nylon, complemented by suede overlays for added durability and style.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the suede materials and adhesives.

What is the primary benefit of the waffle outsole?

The waffle pattern provides superior traction and durability, an innovation originally designed to help runners grip the track better.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede panels

Use a dry suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the stain; do not soak the suede in water.

Insole feels worn down after heavy use

The insoles are removable and can be replaced with aftermarket orthotics or cushioned inserts for added comfort.

Shoelaces come undone frequently

Replace the laces with a slightly textured flat lace or apply a double knot to maintain tension during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Waffle Trainers maintain their appearance and structure, keep the following care tips in mind:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dust. For the nylon sections, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
  2. Suede Maintenance: Avoid getting suede wet. If stains occur, use a specialized suede eraser or brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the University Gold details.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit standard UK sizing. They pair best with casual wear such as denim, chinos, or athletic joggers.
