FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike Air Max Command shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Please follow the care instructions provided, which include hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What activities are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for casual everyday wear, walking, and light urban activities. Their design prioritizes comfort and style for daily use rather than high-performance sports.
How do I clean the waffle outsole?
You can clean the waffle outsole by using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. A soft brush, like an old toothbrush, can help dislodge dirt from the grooves for thorough cleaning.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Nike Air Max Command features a foam midsole designed for long-lasting cushioning, which provides a degree of arch support suitable for general wear. For specific arch support needs, personal orthotics can often be accommodated.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the Nike Air Max Command is constructed from a combination of leather, fabric, and synthetic materials to provide a comfortable hold and durable structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Wear the shoes for a few short periods to allow the materials to break in and adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath it.
Dirt and stains on the upper material
For general dirt, use a soft, damp cloth. For leather components, use a dedicated leather cleaner. For fabric/synthetic parts, a mild soap solution and soft brush can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Foot odor
Ensure shoes are properly aired out after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to clean and dry separately. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays, and wearing moisture-wicking socks.
