FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Nike ACG Rufus with a suede upper is not waterproof. Suede can be damaged by water. We recommend applying a suede protector spray for enhanced water resistance, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
Can I use these for running or intense hiking?
The Nike ACG Rufus is designed for casual wear, urban exploration, and light outdoor activities like walking on established trails. It is not intended for high-performance running or strenuous hiking.
How do I clean the 'Limestone' suede?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated suede cleaner can be applied sparingly, following the product's instructions. Always allow to air dry completely.
What does 'ACG' mean on these shoes?
ACG stands for 'All Conditions Gear.' It signifies that the product is designed by Nike to be durable and functional across various conditions and environments, offering comfort and resilience for everyday wear and light adventures.
Is the sizing accurate?
These shoes are generally considered true to size for a UK 13 adult male fit. However, for the most accurate fit, it's always recommended to consult Nike's official sizing guide or try them on.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can cause damage, shrinkage, and discoloration. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede outlined in this guide.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time
While foam midsoles are durable, continuous heavy use can compact them. Ensure adequate rest between wears. If the cushioning is significantly degraded, consider if it's time for a replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris that could reduce grip. While the outsole offers good traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on extremely slick or icy conditions. Exercise caution.
Suede color looks dull or faded
After cleaning with a suede brush and eraser, you can use a suede conditioner or renovator specifically designed to refresh color. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede Nike ACG Rufus:
- Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede. Gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap.
- Stains: For minor stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner (following product instructions) may be necessary. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Protection: Suede is susceptible to water damage. Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically, especially if you anticipate exposure to wet conditions. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), as heat can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your suede shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes not designed for suede.
