FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Field General is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support or cushioning required for running.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Never put suede trainers in a washing machine.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard Nike sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer a half-size up for comfort.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can absorb water, which may lead to discoloration or permanent damage to the material texture.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is inspired by classic American football footwear, specifically the vintage look of Nike's historical field training gear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or worn
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the fibers in a single direction to restore the nap.
Surface stains on the upper
Use a dry suede eraser to gently lift localized spots. Do not use soap or liquid cleaning agents directly on the suede.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the laces are fully loosened from the eyelets down to the midfoot to prevent unnecessary strain on the suede heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Field General Trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Protective Treatment: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing the shoes for the first time to create a water-resistant barrier.
- Cleaning: If the suede becomes dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture of the nap. Avoid soaking the material in water.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the red finish.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit, making them compatible with most casual socks; however, if you plan to wear thick wool socks, consider if your standard size accommodates the added volume.
