FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike Air Huaraches are generally considered to fit true to size for length, but their unique 'sock-like' internal bootie can make them feel snug. If you prefer a looser fit or have wider feet, some users opt to go up half a size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?
These shoes are best suited for casual wear, daily commutes, walking, and general lifestyle use. They are designed for comfort and style rather than high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.
How do I clean the 'Triple Black' leather?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner with a soft brush. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The premium leather offers some natural water resistance, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. A water-repellent spray designed for leather can offer additional protection.
Is the sole durable?
The Nike Air Huarache features a durable rubber outsole designed for everyday traction and wear. With proper care and typical usage, the sole should provide long-lasting performance.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Nike Air Huarache features a cushioned midsole designed to provide comfort and support for a variety of foot types during casual wear. The 'sock-like' fit also contributes to a secure, supportive feel around the foot.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable initially.
The Huarache features a snug, sock-like fit. Allow a brief break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and try adjusting the lacing. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness. For scuffs, a leather balm or polish designed for black leather can help.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. Ensure the shoe is dry.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow your shoes to air out between wears. Remove insoles occasionally to let them dry completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care
To maintain the premium leather and overall appearance of your Nike Air Huarache:
