FAQs
Can I wear these Nike Field General 82 shoes in the rain?
While the shoes offer durability, suede is not naturally water-resistant. It is highly recommended to apply a waterproof spray specifically designed for suede before wearing them in wet conditions. This will protect the material from water damage and stains.
How do I clean the 'Diffused Blue Natural' suede?
For daily maintenance, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser kit, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
The Nike Field General 82 is designed for casual wear and *light* athletic activities. While comfortable, it is not engineered for high-impact sports like running, which require specialized athletic footwear with different cushioning and support features.
What's the best way to store these sneakers to maintain their shape?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To help maintain their shape, especially with suede, consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free tissue paper when not in use.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Nike shoes generally run true to size, but individual fit can vary. This specific variant is a UK size 12 for men. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, consider trying half a size up if available.
Can I put my suede Nike Field General 82 sneakers in a washing machine?
No, never put suede shoes in a washing machine. The harsh detergents, water, and agitation can severely damage the suede material, causing it to shrink, stiffen, crack, or lose its color and texture permanently.
What does the 'Diffused Blue Natural' colorway imply?
This refers to the specific combination of colors. 'Diffused Blue' indicates a muted or softened blue tone, giving it a subtle yet sophisticated appearance. 'Natural' typically refers to complementary natural or off-white accents, often found in the sole or other design elements, creating a balanced aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and vibrancy.
Visible dirt or light scuffs on the suede.
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For scuffs or marks, gently rub with a suede eraser. For tougher spots, a damp (not wet) cloth followed by a suede brush after drying can help.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. Consider wearing thin socks initially or using a shoe stretcher if consistent discomfort persists.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes.
Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors.
Suede is discolored or has water marks after getting wet.
If not previously protected, water can stain suede. Use a suede cleaner specifically designed for water stains. For minor marks, dampen the entire affected area evenly with a clean, damp cloth, allow to air dry, then brush. This can help prevent uneven drying marks.

Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede Nike Field General 82 sneakers.
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions.
- Daily Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and restore the nap (the soft, fuzzy texture) of the suede. Always brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning for Dry Stains: For dried mud or scuffs, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. Follow up with a suede brush.
- Wet Stains: If the suede gets wet or stained with liquid, gently blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. Allow to air dry naturally, then use a suede brush.
- Deeper Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner solution. Always follow the product instructions carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
