FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The NMD S1 generally fits true to size, but the sock-like textile upper provides a snug fit. If you prefer more room, you may want to wear thin performance socks.
Can I wear the NMD S1 for intense gym workouts?
While they are comfortable for walking and daily movement, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the lateral support needed for high-intensity gym training.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric color to fade or the rubber to harden over long periods.
Do the EVA plugs provide any functional purpose?
Yes, they provide structural stability to the Boost midsole, ensuring the foam does not compress too much under pressure.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the textile upper is breathable and does not feature a waterproof membrane, so it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the textile upper
Gently clean using a soft-bristled brush and a solution of warm water mixed with a small amount of mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used if the laces are sliding, or consider replacing them with high-friction flat laces for a more secure fit.
Midsole cushioning feels less responsive over time
This is often due to debris in the tread; use a brush to clear the outsole and check that the EVA plugs remain seated correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your NMD S1 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of textile, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild detergent when necessary. When fitting the shoe, use the lace system to distribute pressure evenly across the top of the foot for a secure lockdown. The NMD S1 works well with a wide range of casual attire, from athletic joggers to denim, and is best suited for dry-to-moderate weather conditions to protect the fabric finish.
