FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Air Tailwind 79 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not recommended for long-distance or high-performance running.

How should I clean the yellow and red exterior?

Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild detergent. Gently scrub the affected areas and allow them to air dry naturally.

Does this shoe provide good arch support?

It provides standard support suitable for daily wear, but individuals requiring specialized orthotics may need to replace the factory insole.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Nike sizing conventions. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or measuring your foot according to our sizing chart.

Can the insoles be removed?

Check the waffle pattern for trapped pebbles or debris and clean the outsole with a damp brush.
