FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Nike Court Vision Lo Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and daily comfort, not for performance athletic activities like running, basketball, or intense training.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth for light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, apply it with a soft brush or cloth, and then wipe off residue. Always condition the leather afterward.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather construction offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. For better protection in wet conditions, consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather.
Do I need to break them in?
Like many leather shoes, these trainers may require a short break-in period to conform to your feet. Wear them for shorter periods initially to ensure comfort.
How can I prevent creasing?
To minimize creasing, regularly condition the leather to keep it supple. Using shoe trees when the trainers are not being worn can also help maintain their original shape and reduce deep creases.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
Nike Court Vision Lo Trainers generally run true to size. It's recommended to try them on or refer to Nike's official size guide if you are unsure.
Can I put them in a washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put leather trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand as per the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a good quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions to moisturize and restore the leather's natural luster.
Trainers are creasing excessively
Use shoe trees when not wearing them to help maintain their shape. Regularly condition the leather to keep it supple, which can reduce the severity of creases.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often caused by friction between parts of the shoe. Try dusting a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue to reduce friction.
Dirt and scuffs on the leather
Clean promptly with a soft, damp cloth for light dirt. For tougher scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, then condition the area.
Unpleasant odor inside the trainers
Remove insoles and air out the trainers regularly. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing).
