FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, the Waffle Trainer 2 is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than high-performance distance running.
How do I determine if this size fits?
The shoe is listed in UK sizing (9.5); it follows standard Nike sizing, so it should fit consistent with other Nike lifestyle models.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesive integrity of the sole.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed primarily from breathable nylon with suede overlays for added durability.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
It provides standard support suitable for daily wear, but it does not feature the specialized motion control of technical running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized eraser to gently lift stains without getting the material wet.
Squeaking sound while walking
Check if the removable insole has shifted; remove it and re-insert to ensure it sits flat against the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Waffle Trainer 2 stays in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue hues of the nylon and suede. For cleaning, wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the suede portions in water; instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap. These shoes are true-to-size for a standard adult foot, though it is recommended to wear thin-to-medium thickness athletic socks to maintain the intended fit.
