FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the Nike Field General 82 is a lifestyle shoe inspired by vintage American football. It is designed for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic performance or rigorous sports activities.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher marks, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Is the 'Diffused Blue Natural' colorway prone to fading?

Like all colored suede, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from harsh light to preserve the color.

What does 'Waffle sole' mean?

The Waffle sole is a classic Nike outsole design featuring raised nubs that provide excellent grip and cushioning. It was originally developed for running shoes in the 1970s and is known for its distinctive pattern.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Nike shoes are true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a Nike size guide.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Suede is sensitive to water and moisture. While minor dampness might be fine, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and damage to the material. A suede protector spray can offer some resistance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift surface dirt. Brush in one direction for best results.

Stains on suede material.

For dry stains, try a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.

Sole traction seems reduced.

Inspect the Waffle sole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the grooves if necessary. If wear is significant, consider the shoe's age and usage.
