FAQs

Are these suitable for sports?

While durable for active kids, Nike Dunk Lows are primarily lifestyle sneakers and not designed for high-performance sports like basketball or intense running. For sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size. It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to Nike's official size chart for 'Grade School' (GS) sizing. If between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers as it can damage the material and adhesives. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather cleaning methods.

What is the best way to clean the white parts of the shoe?

For white leather, a soft cloth with mild soap and water, or a dedicated sneaker cleaner, can be used. For the rubber sole, a brush with mild detergent can effectively remove dirt. Always wipe clean with a damp cloth afterward.

Will the red color fade over time?

With proper care and by avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, the 'University Red' color should retain its vibrancy. However, all colors may experience some natural fading over a very long period or with improper care.

Is leather care different from other materials?

Yes, leather requires specific care. Unlike canvas or mesh, leather needs to be cleaned gently, conditioned periodically to prevent drying and cracking, and protected from excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are using a double knot or try different lacing techniques for a more secure fit. Inspect laces for wear and tear.

Sneakers feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing tension evenly across the foot. For persistent issues, ensure the correct size was purchased, considering the shoe's width.

Leather appears scuffed or dirty

Gently clean scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Consider using a protective spray.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, talcum powder or a thin cloth under the insole can reduce friction causing squeaking. If the sole squeaks, it might be due to moisture; ensure they are fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Nike Dunk Lows is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Begin by unlacing the sneakers to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
  2. Insert Foot: Place your foot inside, ensuring your heel is seated correctly.
  3. Adjust Laces: Pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, working from the toe upwards, to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
  4. Tie: Tie the laces in a knot or bow that feels secure and won't easily come undone.

Compatibility

These Nike Dunk Lows (GS) are sized for kids and designed to be a versatile unisex sneaker. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, making them a flexible addition to any outfit.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather sneakers:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains before the first wear.
  2. Cleaning: For surface dirt, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following product instructions.
  3. Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the leather.
