FAQs
Are these shoes completely waterproof?
The Nike Air Zoom Winflo 9 Shield is designed to be water-resistant, offering protection against light rain and damp conditions. They are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What type of running are these shoes best for?
These trainers are ideal for daily running, tempo workouts, and longer runs, particularly in wet or damp weather conditions on roads and light trails.
How should I clean my Winflo 9 Shield trainers?
Gently clean them with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do these trainers require a break-in period?
Like most running shoes, a short break-in period may help achieve optimal comfort. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
What is the main advantage of the 'Shield' designation?
The 'Shield' designation indicates enhanced weather resistance compared to standard models, providing better protection against moisture and cooler conditions.
Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?
Yes, the weatherized materials offer some protection in cooler temperatures, but the flexibility of the materials may decrease in extreme cold.
What is the cushioning like in the Winflo 9 Shield?
They feature Zoom Air units for responsive cushioning, providing a balance of softness and energy return suitable for various running paces.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water resistance after several uses.
The weather-resistant coating may diminish over time. Consider using a specific waterproofing spray designed for athletic footwear to refresh its protective qualities.
Slipping sensation during wet runs.
Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can reduce traction. If the issue persists, the tread may be worn down, and it might be time to consider a replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing on the heel or toes.
This could be due to improper fit or the shoes needing a break-in period. Ensure laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Material feels stiff in cold weather.
The weatherized materials may become slightly less flexible in very low temperatures. Wear them for a few minutes to allow them to warm up with body heat.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
