FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Nike Field General 82 Suede Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They are not built with the technical specifications or support required for running or other performance-based sports.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

We highly recommend applying a good quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapplying it periodically. This creates a protective barrier, making the suede more resistant to moisture and stains. Always let the product dry completely before wearing.

What is the sizing like for the Nike Field General 82?

These trainers typically follow standard Nike men's sizing. This specific variant is a UK size 6. If you're unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or compare with other Nike footwear you own.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, you should never machine wash suede trainers. Machine washing can severely damage the suede material, cause discolouration, and alter the shoe's structure. Always opt for manual cleaning methods specific to suede.

What does 'Waffle sole' mean?

The Waffle sole is an iconic Nike outsole design featuring raised, nubby patterns. It was originally developed for traction on various surfaces and is known for its grip, durability, and lightweight properties. On the Field General 82, it adds to both the functional grip and the vintage aesthetic.

Are there other colours or variants available for the Field General 82?

Yes, the Nike Field General 82 series comes in several different colourways and material combinations, offering a range of aesthetic choices beyond this Brown/Black suede version.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush consistently in one direction to even out the texture.

Visible dirt or light stains on the suede.

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. For deeper dirt, follow with a suede brush. For more stubborn stains, consider a suede cleaning solution as per its instructions.

Trainers got wet and the suede feels stiff.

Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently revive the texture and softness of the suede.

Squeaking noise when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and allowing it to dry thoroughly. If it persists, a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet under the insole can help.

Fit feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Suede can take a short period to break in and conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or consulting a shoe specialist.

Care Instructions for Suede

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and loose dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub away the stain.
  4. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaning solution designed specifically for the material. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  5. Water Exposure: If the trainers get wet, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the suede or cause discolouration.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners on your suede trainers.
