FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air-Sole provides good cushioning for everyday play and walking, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated high-performance running shoes.
How do I know if the UK 5 size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth and movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are they waterproof?
The leather upper provides good water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for indoor and outdoor use and is generally safe for gym surfaces.
Do these laces stay tied well?
The standard laces provide a secure hold, but for younger children who struggle with tying, double-knotting is recommended for extra security.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather can take a few wears to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly and consider wearing slightly thinner socks until the material softens.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs from the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.
Outsole losing grip
Check the grooves of the pivot circles for stuck pebbles or debris; removing these with a stiff brush can restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Air Force 1 trainers last, it is essential to follow a regular care routine. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the material and glue. Instead, spot clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth or a leather-safe cleaner. For the rubber outsoles, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the grooves. Ensure the laces are tightened properly for a secure fit to prevent excessive heel slip. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
