FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Run Defy is designed for consistent training and various distances; however, personal preference for cushioning level will determine suitability for full marathon events.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running trainer, the stable base makes them suitable for general gym sessions, though they are specifically engineered for linear forward motion.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Run Defy features a breathable mesh upper which allows air and moisture to pass through; they are not designed for wet weather conditions.
Does this model come in other colours?
This specific series is highlighted in the Grey/White colourway, which offers a versatile look for various activities.
What is the best way to determine my size?
We recommend measuring your feet in the evening when they are at their largest and comparing the result to the Nike size chart for the UK sizing system.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or pinching in the forefoot
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the bridge of the foot; re-lace the shoe to create more volume in the toe box.
Excessive movement of the heel
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe for a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock the heel in place.
Dirt buildup in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud, then wipe with a damp cloth; avoid scrubbing hard to prevent fraying the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Run Defy trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks or light runs initially to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying as this can damage the foam and glue structures.
- Air Dry: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Sizing: These shoes are available in various UK adult sizes. Ensure you check your specific fit, as running shoes often require a half-size larger than casual footwear to account for foot swelling.
