FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
The Nike Dunk Low features a classic fit that might feel snug for wider feet. We recommend trying them on or considering sizing up by half a size if you typically wear wide-fit shoes.
How do I clean the white leather upper?
For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner with a soft brush, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. For better protection against water and stains, we recommend applying a waterproof or stain-repellent spray designed for leather footwear.
What does 'Next Nature' mean?
'Next Nature' signifies that the product is made with at least 20% recycled materials by weight. This series focuses on sustainable practices without compromising classic style.
Can I use these for sports or running?
While the Nike Dunk Low has roots in basketball, the Next Nature model is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For athletic performance in sports or running, we recommend using dedicated performance footwear.
How long do these sneakers typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, the durable leather upper and rubber sole are designed for longevity. Lifespan depends on frequency of wear, activities, and adherence to care instructions.
What is the sizing like for women's Nike Dunks?
Nike Dunk Low models typically run true to size for women. However, if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, you might consider going up half a size. Refer to Nike's official size guide for precise measurements.
Troubleshooting
White leather quickly shows dirt or scuffs
Immediately wipe down visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a dedicated white sneaker cleaner or a leather eraser. Regular application of a leather protector spray can prevent deep stains.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are not overtightened. The leather may need a few wears to break in. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different lacing pattern or using thinner socks. For persistent tightness, professional stretching might be an option.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the sole itself squeaks on certain surfaces, it's often due to the material and is less resolvable.
