FAQs
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily designed for training and everyday wear. While suitable for light jogging, they lack the specific motion control features of dedicated long-distance running shoes.
Are the uppers waterproof?
The leather uppers provide a degree of water resistance, but the shoes are not waterproof and should not be submerged.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick performance socks, you may consider a half-size up.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics if preferred.
How often should I clean the leather?
Wipe them down after use if they get dirty, and apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
Troubleshooting
Material appearing dull after wear
Use a leather conditioner to restore the natural finish and prevent the material from drying out.
Reduced traction
Inspect the rubber outsole grooves for stuck pebbles or debris and remove them with a soft brush.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles to air out and use an antimicrobial spray or moisture-absorbing charcoal bags when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Defy All Day trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential given the leather upper construction. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesive and damage the leather finish. Instead, clean the exterior by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap; for stubborn marks, use a leather-safe cleaner. Regularly check the outsole for debris trapped in the traction pattern to maintain grip levels. Always ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources to prevent material cracking.
