FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Run Utility features durable construction, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.

Are these suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the VaporMax cushioning is designed for long-term shock absorption, making them appropriate for high-mileage training.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The trainers are sized in standard UK measurements. It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the air unit and the reflective materials. Hand cleaning is the recommended method.

What is the purpose of the heel pull tab?

The heel pull tab allows for easier entry and exit from the shoe, preserving the structure of the heel collar over time.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This is often caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe interior. Remove the insole, dry the shoe, and reinsert it.

Feel unstable on uneven surfaces

Ensure the laces are tightened properly to secure the foot; verify that the outsole treads are clear of debris like small rocks or mud.

Reflective material looking dull

Gently wipe the reflective strips with a soft, clean cloth and a mild soap solution to remove grime that blocks light reflection.

  • Highly durable outsole for varied surfaces
  • Enhanced visibility with reflective silver detailing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Nike Air VaporMax Run Utility trainers, start by adjusting the lacing system to achieve a secure, locked-in feel that matches your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, ensure that the factory insoles are removed first to maintain proper foot positioning within the air unit chamber. For maintenance, keep the shoes clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth after muddy or dusty runs. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents, as these can degrade the rubber outsole and reflective materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning unit or weaken adhesive bonds.
