FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the construction of the shoe. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, the Nike Waffle Debut generally fits true to your standard Nike size.
Can I wear these for running?
While inspired by classic running shoes, this model is designed primarily for casual lifestyle wear rather than high-performance athletics.
What is the best way to clean the cream leather?
Use a leather-specific cleaner and a soft brush. Test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The leather provides some resistance, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray if you anticipate light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt marks on the leather surface
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild soap and gently buff the area; do not soak the leather.
Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear
Loosen the laces to allow for natural foot swelling, or ensure you are wearing socks that allow for proper breathability.
Outsole losing traction due to debris
Use a soft brush to clear out pebbles or dirt trapped within the waffle patterns on the underside of the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the Nike Waffle Debut fits true to size. To maintain the integrity of the leather and the cream color, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dust with a dry cloth. For deeper cleans, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush.
- Moisture Prevention: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect the shoes from light rain and liquid splashes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the cream material to fade or yellow over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair well with casual trousers, denim, and joggers. Avoid heavy detergents or machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and damage the adhesive.
