FAQs

Can these be worn for running?

Use a soft brush and a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Waffle Trainer generally fits true to size for most adults, though personal preference for fit tightness may vary.

What is the primary material used?

Is the sole effective in slippery conditions?

The waffle-patterned midsole is designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces, though extra caution should be used on extremely slick or icy ground.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in one direction.

Foam midsole losing its rebound feel

Allow the sneakers to air out for 24 hours between heavy uses to let the foam recover its shape.

Stubborn surface stains

Apply a dedicated suede cleaning block or eraser to the affected area, followed by gentle brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Waffle Trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Given the suede construction, avoid wearing these in heavy rain or muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining. For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. If deeper cleaning is required, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and an eraser kit to lift stains without damaging the texture of the material. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can degrade the foam components and the suede finish.
