FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Max Pulse offers excellent comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe rather than for high-performance running. For running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I choose the correct size?
This specific variant is a UK adult male size 6. Nike sizes generally run true to size, but if you're unsure, it's always best to consult Nike's official size chart or try them on.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, for enhanced protection in wet conditions, it's highly recommended to apply a water-repellent leather protector spray. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect the leather.
What's the best way to clean the visible Air Max unit?
The visible Air Max unit can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on wear, but generally, conditioning every 1-3 months is sufficient to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, especially in drier climates or with frequent use.
Are these shoes heavy?
The Air Max Pulse is constructed with durable materials including leather and the Air Max cushioning. While not feather-light, they are designed to offer a balanced feel for everyday comfort without being excessively heavy.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the area gently with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather. Buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are thoroughly aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight to absorb odors.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath, and then reinserting it.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the quality and appearance of your leather Nike Air Max Pulse requires consistent care:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality leather protector spray every few weeks or months, especially if you anticipate exposure to water or excessive dirt. This helps repel moisture and stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for black leather to maintain its rich color and finish.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
