FAQs
Do these shoes run true to size?
No, the Nike Gato Low Shoes are noted to run small. It is strongly recommended to order a half size larger than your usual size for a comfortable fit.
What is the best surface to use these shoes on?
These shoes are designed with a gum rubber outsole for optimal traction on smooth indoor surfaces such as futsal courts or gym floors.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and test it on a small, hidden area first. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
Are these suitable for outdoor wear?
While they can be worn casually outdoors, their primary design and optimal performance are for indoor courts. Prolonged outdoor use on rough surfaces may impact durability and traction.
What is the primary benefit of the low-cut silhouette?
The low-cut silhouette is designed to provide increased ankle mobility and freedom of movement, which is beneficial for quick directional changes and athletic agility.
Can I use these for running or training outside of futsal?
These shoes are best suited for their intended purpose of indoor court control. For general running or outdoor training, specialized athletic footwear is recommended for optimal performance and injury prevention.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, which is specifically chosen for its excellent grip and non-marking properties on indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small.
The Nike Gato shoes are known to run small. If you have not already, consider reordering a half size up as recommended. If you have already purchased the correct size and they still feel snug, break them in by wearing them for short periods indoors.
Traction is reduced on indoor courts.
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean. Dust and debris can accumulate and reduce grip. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth. If the shoes are significantly worn, the outsole may have lost its optimal traction properties.
Leather upper shows creases or scuffs.
Creases are natural with leather wear. For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, professional leather care might be considered. Using shoe trees can help minimize creasing when stored.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during use.
While the shoes have textile inserts for ventilation, intense activity can still lead to heat buildup. Ensure socks are made of breathable, moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Gato Low Shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have followed the sizing recommendation to order the correct size.
Compatibility: These shoes are primarily designed for indoor court surfaces like futsal courts or smooth gym floors. While they can be worn casually on outdoor surfaces, prolonged use on rough terrain may affect the outsole's grip and durability.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the gum rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
