FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Initiator is better suited for casual wear, walking, and light gym activities rather than intense or long-distance running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers use standard UK sizing. If you find yourself between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size to ensure comfort.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to wash these in a machine. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the structure of the shoe.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you wish to swap them with custom orthotics.

Is the material waterproof?

The materials are not waterproof. They are breathable, meaning moisture can penetrate the fabric during heavy rain.

What is the best way to clean the grey fabric parts?

Use a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft cloth to gently spot-clean the fabric areas, then pat dry.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears

Adjust the lace tension to loosen the midfoot area and allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Sole is picking up debris

Use a small brush or a toothpick to gently clear rocks or dirt from the treads of the outsole.

Mild odor after extended wear

Remove the insoles to let the interior air out fully and consider using a shoe deodorizer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Initiator trainers last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing your preferred athletic socks when trying them on, as these will affect how the shoe sits on your foot.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt from the outsole using a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
  • Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
