FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Nike Field General 82 Trainers are designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes, not for high-performance running or intense sports activities. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over athletic performance.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It's highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply it regularly as per the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for suede materials, as it can damage the fabric, color, and adhesive. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede cleaning.

What if my suede trainers get very dirty?

For heavy dirt or mud, let the mud dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For deep stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, always testing it on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Nike footwear generally fits true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. Refer to Nike's official size guide for the most accurate recommendation.

What is the 'waffle sole'?

The waffle sole is a distinctive outsole design featuring raised nubs or 'waffles' that provide excellent traction and grip on various surfaces. It's a classic Nike design element known for its durability and performance.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Regular light cleaning with a suede brush after each wear can help prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning should be done as needed for stains or significant dirt. Regular protection application is also key.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flat or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in a consistent direction.

Visible scuffs or light stains on suede

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser. For tougher spots, a suede cleaning block can be used.

Trainers got wet and look discolored

Stuff the trainers with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not force dry.

Laces are worn or broken

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and style. Nike's official website or shoe accessory stores are good sources.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole itself; consult a cobbler.

Care Instructions for Suede

Suede is a delicate material that requires specific care to maintain its appearance.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray manufacturer.
  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • Use a suede brush (often with both wire and rubber bristles) to gently brush off loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
  • For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub away the mark.
  • Avoid using water directly on stains.
  1. Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
