FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are heritage lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced cushioning and support found in modern high-performance running shoes.
How should I clean the waffle sole?
Use a soft brush and warm, soapy water to scrub the rubber, then wipe dry with a towel.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing; however, individual foot shape may vary.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The nylon material can soak up moisture, and the vintage-style construction is not waterproof.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The design is inspired by Bill Bowerman's original creation, which famously used a waffle iron to mold the rubber outsole for better traction.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality, durable nylon.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the nylon upper
Gently use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap; do not use harsh chemicals.
Soles losing traction due to debris
Use a toothpick or soft brush to carefully remove stones or dirt trapped within the waffle sole pattern.
Creasing during wear
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Moon Shoes remain in top condition, proper care is essential. The nylon upper is susceptible to stains, so it is recommended to apply a protective water and stain repellent spray compatible with synthetic fabrics upon initial use. If the shoes become dusty, wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, avoid submerging them in water; instead, use a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently spot-clean the nylon and the rubber sole. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the nylon material from fading or losing its structural integrity over time. Ensure you select your correct UK adult size to maintain the intended fit and prevent excessive wear on the heel counter.
