FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for long-distance running?
No, while they are inspired by running heritage, they are designed as lifestyle shoes for casual daily wear rather than athletic performance.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe down the faux leather. Avoid washing machines or harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Most users find them to be true to size, though the retro design can feel slightly more narrow than modern performance models.
Is the foam tongue meant to look unfinished?
Yes, the exposed foam tongue is an intentional design choice to pay homage to the original 1970s Nike trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to swap them out for custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the faux leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape of the toe box and reduce fabric tension.
Dirt stuck in the waffle sole patterns
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the crevices of the tread.
Discoloration of the foam tongue
Spot clean very gently with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth; avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Waffle Trainers last, it is important to follow proper care steps. Given the faux leather exterior, you should wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, but keep it away from the exposed foam tongue as this material is porous and can easily absorb liquids. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the pink colorway.
