FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all-weather conditions?
Due to their suede material, these sneakers are best suited for dry conditions. While a suede protector can offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments is not recommended to preserve the material's integrity and appearance.
How do I maintain the 'Limestone' color?
Regular gentle brushing with a *suede brush* and prompt stain treatment using a *suede eraser* or cleaner will help maintain the color. Applying a *suede protector spray* from the start is also highly recommended to prevent discoloration from dirt and moisture.
Can I wear these sneakers for running or hiking?
No, the Nike ACG Rufus Sneakers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not engineered with the specific support, cushioning, or traction required for running, hiking, or other strenuous athletic activities.
What is the best way to clean the sole?
The rubber sole can typically be cleaned with a *damp cloth* and mild soap or a dedicated *shoe sole cleaner*. Use a soft brush for tougher dirt, then wipe clean.
What does 'ACG' stand for?
'ACG' stands for 'All Conditions Gear'. While the broader ACG line includes products for various outdoor conditions, the ACG Rufus Sneakers are specifically designed with a focus on casual comfort and style for everyday, urban conditions, especially given their suede construction.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Nike sizing can vary slightly between models. For the ACG Rufus, most users find them true to their standard Nike UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Always refer to Nike's official size guide if available.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears flattened or matted.
Use a specialized *suede brush* to gently restore the nap. Brush in short, light strokes in multiple directions to lift the fibers and refresh the appearance.
Water stains on the suede.
Lightly dampen the entire affected area with a *clean, damp cloth* (not soaking wet). Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush the nap with a suede brush.
Scuffs or minor marks on the suede.
Use a *suede eraser* to gently rub away the scuff. For tougher marks, apply light pressure, then brush the area with a suede brush to smooth the nap.
Color appears faded or dull.
Ensure proper cleaning is performed to remove accumulated dirt. Regular application of a *suede protector spray* can help preserve the original color and prevent environmental fading.

Care
Suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance. Follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning:
- Dry Brush: Use a *suede brush* to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Stain Removal: For small, dry stains, use a *suede eraser*. Gently rub the eraser over the stain until it lifts.
- Wet Stains: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain. Allow to air dry completely.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede Specific):
- Use a specialized *suede cleaner* and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection:
- Regularly reapply a *suede protector spray* to maintain water and stain resistance, especially after cleaning or exposure to wet conditions.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with acid-free paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid:
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive water, or direct heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) when cleaning or drying, as these can damage the suede.
