FAQs
Are the Nike Shox Ride 2 good for running?
These trainers are designed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear. While they provide stability, they are not intended for high-intensity running or marathon training.
Does the leather require special maintenance?
Yes, using a high-quality leather conditioner occasionally will keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
How do I choose the right size?
The Nike Shox Ride 2 generally fits true to size for most adults. Refer to our sizing guide to match your UK shoe size.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain as prolonged saturation can affect the material finish and the mechanical cushioning.
What is the primary material used?
The primary exterior material is high-quality leather, though certain versions may feature alternative materials like velvet.
Do the Shox columns compress over time?
They are engineered for longevity, but like any footwear component, the feeling of the cushioning may settle slightly after extensive long-term use.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a cedar shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Stiff sensation upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape naturally.
Difficulty cleaning between the Shox columns
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or compressed air to gently remove dust and debris from the gaps in the cushioning system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Shox Ride 2 uses a leather upper, it is best to treat the shoes with a protective leather spray before the first wear to guard against water and dirt. To clean the shoes, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth; avoid submerging the mechanical Shox columns in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the specialized materials. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, though users with wider feet may appreciate the structure of the leather, which allows for a secure, locked-in feel. For long-term storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discolouring.
